This is a problem I've run into before, but never been able to
properly resolve. Basically, the login.krb, despite its name,
doesn't actually write Kerberos tickets to /tmp.

It started on this machine when we tried to upgrade it to AFS 3.3a.
The login.krb that Transarc provided wrote the tickets, but didn't
chown them to the user- it left them owned by root. Not too good.
So I downgraded the machine to 3.2 again, and now the tickets
are not being written.

All the other machines in the network still work fine, and the
md5 checksums of *their* login binaries match the ones that
are on the problem machine, as do the ownerships and modes
of /bin/login*. The various AIX links to stuff in /etc are
all intact as well.

I blew away the AFS cache when I did the downgrade, so that shouldn't be 
an issue.

There is no error message when you log in, and you get tokens
as usual; there just isn't any ticket file.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Any and all suggestions will be 
appreciated.
