There seems to be two related issues but actually both on 12.10.

Some background information: on RHEL 6 both Firefox and ssh work as
expected (i.e., rdns setting in krb5.conf is respected meaning that if
DNS reverse mapping has not been set up properly then authentication
fails when rdns = true but succeeds with rdns = false). On F18 Firefox
works as expected but ssh fails, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=863350.

On Ubuntu 12.04 both Firefox/ssh work as expected. However, on Ubuntu
12.10 both ssh and Firefox fail to authenticate regardless rdns = false
in krb5.conf.

I'd suggest you to test and verify with curl and/or Firefox to make sure
libc/krb5 are ok and once verified then investigate ssh in more detail
which seems to have an issue of its own.
