When I use su it just hangs... When started from under gdb,
Password-prompt comes up immediately, but it would not accept
any passwords... netstat suggests it is Kerberos' fault:

Active Internet connections
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
tcp        0      0  aldan.telnet           rtfm.1024              ESTABLISHED
tcp        1      0  aldan.klogin           rtfm.5120              CLOSE_WAIT
Active UNIX domain sockets
....

(aldan is where I am telneted to from rtfm, and where I am trying to do
su)

How do I fix it? Thanks,
