getting tokens for a remote cell

[Dr A V Le Blanc]

I wrote that 'klog user at remote.cell' gives:

     klog: Unable to authenticate to Kerberos: Principal expired (kerberos)

and 'kinit user at remote.cell' gives:

     kinit: Can't send request (send_to_kdc)

and 'kauth at remote.cell' fails with:

     kauth: Principal expired (kerberos)

The only remote site I have a user name on is transarc.com, and I
suspect they are not using the 3.3 kaserver any more.

This has led to other discoveries, but it doesn't help me.  I get
the problems whether KRBTKFILE is set or not.

This doesn't help me either.  'klog -tmp' has the same error
message as klog alone.
