This is a problem with telnetd at the server.  You can start telnetd
with `-a debug' and you should get more debug information.

The things that can go wrong in krb5_sock_to_principal is if it fails
to retrieve the address from the socket (unlikely) or if it fails to
reverse-lookup the address in DNS.
