Hello Greg,

Does krb5kdc return KDC_ERR_WRONG_REALM?

Does canonicalizaiton only work if the host where kinit is called has the right dns-domain (so no canonicalization
happens, if host ab.cd.ef.gh calls “kinit ij at example.org”?

Does the cache also store error answers, like answers about non existing users and answers about NON-LOCAL realms?
