This certainly changes the symptoms; I next got:

     > klog zlsiial
     zlsiial at mcc.ac.gb's Password:
     klog: Unable to get an AFS token: Time is out of bounds (krb_rd_req)

Needless to say, I checked the time, and it was 15 seconds off.
(The person who set up the S.u.S.E machine didn't know about xntp,
I guess.)  Having fixed that, I can now get a token!

Thanks for the help.  I take it you'll be sharing this bug with the
keberos-4 people at KTH?  Also, I wonder why this problem doesn't
affect Debian systems, but does affect the S.u.S.E one?
