There is no graphical program right now that authenticates you. I'm
working on one, but other things have stolen my time.

If you get kerberos tickets with the "kauth" program in kth-krb, and
you have checked the "Auth" checkbox for andrew.cmu.edu in the Arla
configuration program, you should have tokens. If this doesn't work,
please do a "/usr/athena/bin/klist -T" and send it here.
