The only time I've seen this message is when the Kerberos daemons are configured in inetd.conf to *require* Kerberos authentication, and no other type of authentication. When a client then tries to connect to telnetd or whatever and does not already have Kerberos creds, this message appears and the connection is broken. You might want to check the inetd.conf file on your AIX 4.3.3 system to see if it is set up differently than your other hosts. Dan
