Environment:

        AIX 4.3.2
        AFS 3.5 Patch #2
        ssh 1.2.27
        krb4-0.10
        ssh-1.2.27-afs-kerberos.patch-1

Since a long time (ssh 1.2.25) I have a problem with ssh token passing which
I will describe by an example. This problem has become more obscure with
the above environment.

Assume two hosts hosta and hostb. All home directories are in AFS exept for
root. But the authorized_keys file for root is also in AFS! All remote
access is done from hosta with hostb as target. /etc/sshd_config and
/etc/ssh_config are the same on all hosts. 

1.) hostb no AFS server

        as root: ssh hostb tokens
        works, the token is displayd, no password is required.

        as user xyz: ssh hostb -l root tokens
        works, the token is displayed, no password is required. 

        as user xyz: ssh hostb tokens
        requires always a password! A token is displayd.

2.) hostb an AFS server

        as root: ssh hostb tokens
        requires always a password! No token is displayed!

Point 2 is new with the above environment. Does anyone have an idea
what to check or to do?
