Hi all,
I am trying to track the outcome of an old resolved bug:
http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=4190
that seems to have crawled back into the current version. Please see my original email below, when trying to contact the original coder.
Thank you very much!

Problem is, when user hits a space by mistake (easily done in a lab environment to wake up dormant computers), the kerberos authentication doesn't go through, but the ldap one does, so confused user is logged on with no home.
