This is just wrong.

Use the <foo>.krb functions instead of the <foo> functions. e.g.,
klog.krb. This will give you a ticket file w/ TGT. These programs
are distributed by Transarc.

Um, Ken, you're confused. You don't use the AFS service key; you
create a new POP service key, which you store in the KAServer. Also,
you use the CURRENT, unspecified KPOP protocol. The MIT Kerberos
Distributions contain both client and server code for KPOP.
