KfW 2.6 vs Windows 2003 Server: question to the community

I do not believe that setting the default ccache to MSLSA: is an option
for 99% of KfW users.   MSLSA: is only an option when the current
logon session is Kerberos authenticated.  MSLSA: is read-only.  Therefore,
if you set the default to MSLSA: then Leash (or other kinit tools) cannot
obtain credentials and store them in the ccache.

I have at least checked XP SP2 and it does not alter the behavior of
the Kerberos LSA with regards to obtaining session keys.
