[OpenAFS] Multiple Unneeded TGS_REQs

[Jason C. Wells]

I have OpenAFS for Windows 1.2.10.  I am using ms2mit, k524init, and aklog
from MIT KfW 2.5.  I run a script after windows login to get all my
tickets.  I do not run kaserver on my linux AFS server.  I do not use the
Windows client to obtain afs tickets.  I have disabled AFS integreated
login.  My windows 2000 client machine authenticates to my MIT KDC.
Everything seems to function correctly.  I do have one annoyance.

The problem is that something (AFS?) is kicking off 5 TGS_REQs, every
three minutes.  Coincidentally(?), my AFS login retry time setting is 180
seconds.  I have the integrated login disabled, but it seems to be
re-trying anyway.

I do not have a host named w13-AFS on my network so I do not have a host
principle named w13-AFS in my Kerberos database.  I can understand why the
request is failing.  I do not understand why the request is being made in
the first place.

Why is my client trying to get a ticket for HOST/w13-AFS?  How can I
prevent this?  Is windows causing this or is the AFS client causing this?

I am suspicious that the 180 second retry is a red herring causing me to
think that this is an AFS problem, rather than a Windows problem.  My
first instinct is ABMS, Always Blame Microsoft.

Thanks,
