nfsid: can't find ticket (get credentials) (for instance paris realm
Athena.MIT.EDU)
I know there isn't a comma after the phrase "for instance" but I
persist in misreading it anyway. A colon after the "for" would help
disambiguate it a little.
Actually this whole message is bogus. The problem (correct me
if I am wrong, Jerry) was that your ticket granting ticket had
expired. I see no mention of that fact in the error message. In fact
the message itself conveys very little information (beside the obvious
"something spazzed" to anyone but a kerberos guru, who having studied
at the prescribed oracles knows what the message can fortell!).
