There appears to be a bug in appl/telnet/libtelnet/kerberos5.c.
When trying to forward credentials, and with the set authdebug
option turned on, kerberos5_forward fails with the Kerberos V5:
could not build server name -... message.

By changing line 630 from:

 if (r = krb5_sname_to_principal(RemoteHostName, "host", 1,

to:

 if (r = krb5_sname_to_principal(RemoteHostName, "host",KRB5_NT_SRV_HST,

ticket forwarding appears to work in the same realm.


Was Kerberos 5 designed to forward credentials across realms?
