>Severity:	serious

>Release:	1.4.1
>Environment:
	
System: SunOS sfire-17.ecse.rpi.edu 5.10 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
Architecture: sun4

>Description:
	In contravention of standard and convention, even when src/tests/resolve
	shows the resolver as functioning properly, ksu insists on using the
	unqualified domain name of the host, rather than its fully-qualified
	domain name, in order to generate the host principal name for which it
	will look.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Use ksu.
>Fix:
	A functional, though stupid, workaround is to create a host/UQDN
	principal in the kerberos database.
