[OpenAFS] "null realm name not allowed" error on Win2k machine

[Stephen Bailey]

Hi.

I'm running AFS 1.1.1a on a Win2k laptop.  I can obtain tokens
for my local AFS cell (hepl.harvard.edu, server is a RedHat
Linux 7.1 machine), but when I try to obtain tokens for a
remote cell (slac.stanford.edu), I get the error message:

  Error: 97 (code = 97: null realm name not allowed)

Further info:

* Last week I was out at SLAC and my laptop was able to get tokens
  for the slac.stanford.edu AFS cell without a problem when I was
  on their network, using a DHCP address on their network.  Unfortunately
  I didn't try the reverse of getting a hepl token from slac.

* From the hepl server (heplbb01, Linux) I can get a slac.stanford.edu
  token without a problem; it is only under Win2k that I'm having
  problems.

* The following CVS log looks like it might apply.  It is just before
  the 1.1.1a release, but I don't know if this change made it into the
  release or was a on separate branch.

certain things really want the realm to be set correctly and not just left
blank in tickets; existing krb4 kdcs get this correct. now so do we.



Any ideas?  Thanks.
