If you start arlad with debugging arlad -n -z --debug=alm (or turn it on
with fs). What error-message do you get when this happens ? 

Is it ENETDOWN ? And in that case, what it the first think that fails ?

The problem was that we re-used connections that had rxkad security objects
with dead tokens associated with it, ie we never removed them from the
hashtable when they went bad.

Don't know what problem you have with klog. I think the problem comes from
libkafs, setting a breakpoint it _kafs_get_cred() and krb_get_cred() to see
why it thinks you need a interrealm ticket.

Have you been able to reproduce this on another computer ?
