I got information on what I fixed. The problem appears to be that
packet mode on AIX is not working as krlogind.c expects. Can I get
you to try making sure that TIOCPKT is undefined in
src/appl/bsd/krlogind.c and see if that helps?
Say adding
#undef TIOCPKT
just before the definition of protocol?
If this works for you, perhaps we can come up with a cleaner fix.
