Ah, this is a "fancy" default coming into play, no doubt.  /run/user may
be isolated for various users with filesystem namespaces to prevent
cross-user attacks (though I guess that may not be coming into play here).
I also recall issues where the /run/user/<uid>/krb5cc/ directory was
not created automatically, so check that it exists.

Okay, now the kerberos part is succeeding, so any issue here is on the AFS side.

This seems to suggest that aklog -noprdb might succeed.

There are two ticket caches in play here, which can be confusing to both humans
(i.e., me) and software.  Is KRB5CCNAME modified between any of the pasted output
you have given here?  Did you consciously try to set either /run/user/0/krb5cc/tkt
or FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0?

Is aklog linked against a heimdal or MIT libkrb5?
Please provide any /etc/krb5.conf declarations relating to names of credentials
caches.


I don't think it's particularly helpful to be randomly trying different versions
of the software; I would rather get good solid debugging output from a specific
setup and understand what is failing, so that software changes can be targetted
instead of "shotgun style".
