Will do.

This was implemented for libshishi and telnet client in commit bfc79fcb,
on July, 13th!

The library offers shishi_parse_name() to decompose a qualified
principal's name. However it only decomposes into realm and principal,
but not separating off the instance name. Have I overlooked a further
library call?
I imagine some useful setups where one would want services
telnet/address@hidden
rsh/address@hidden
instead of the simplistic
host/address@hidden
for both services. This "address@hidden" would need one ticket for
each server: "telnet/bang.ex.org" and "rsh/bang.ex.org".
At the moment I do not recall whether MIT, or Heimdal, make
provisions for telnetd and ftpd to declare themselfs as
something more specific than "host/bang.ex.org". Certainly
Inetutils is not able to do that yet.
In fact, a correctly written "~/.k5login" would specify
## /home/admin/.k5login
sigge/address@hidden
gusten/address@hidden
address@hidden
allowing optional role selection. We are not yet at this stage
within Inetutils. Could one imagine calls like
$ telnet -kEX.ORG -l sigge/admin kdc.ex.org
$ rsh -l gusten/build bbuild.ex.org start_rebuild now
which would need a simple stripping off of the instance string
from the specified user name.

Mats
