I have already responded to you. Sending out the same to MIT alias for other folks.
You need to setup "udp_preference_limit" configuration parameter in the
Kerberos configuration file krb5.conf under [libdefaults] section, if you want
your application to use TCP. If not specified, Java Kerberos library will fallback
to TCP only if the Kerberos ticket request using UDP fails and the KDC returns
the error code KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG.
*udp_preference_limit*
When sending a message to the KDC, the library will try using TCP before UDP
if the size of the message is above udp_preference_limit. If the message is
smaller than udp_preference_limit, then UDP will be tried before TCP.
For e.g. you can set udp_preference_limit =1 to always use TCP.
Hope this helps. Seema

It seems now that Krb5LoginModule from java works (with TCP as fallback, as Ram says), but kinit only works with UDP. kinit from Java 1.4.2 seems to suffer from a bug when it has to use TCP.
Can anyone confirm (or deny)? Claude

Not quite correct. In 1.4.2, TCP should be used as a fall back when the message size is large and the error code KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG is returned.
See:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jgss/jgss-features.html
"Support TCP for Kerberos Key Distribution Center Transport
Sun's implementation of Kerberos implements Kerberos version 5 according to RFC 1510 and uses UDP transport for ticket requests. A new Internet draft updates this RFC. One of the added features is required support for TCP as a transport in addition to UDP. As a result, in cases where Kerberos tickets exceed the UDP packet size limit, the KDC would return an error code indicating that the request should be resent over TCP.
In the current 1.4.2 release, Sun's implementation of Kerberos now supports automatic fallback to TCP. Therefore, if the Kerberos ticket request using UDP fails and the KDC returns the error code KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG, TCP is automatically the default transport.
..."
If the error KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG is returned, TCP will be used.

Apparently Java's Kerberos implementation does not support using TCP connections to obtain Kerberos tickets. This is required when using Windows 2003 Active Directory as the KDC because the Kerberos tickets must include all of the Windows ACL data. The Kerberos tickets are therefore larger then the maximum size of a UDP packet.
