See /usr/src/crypto/dist/heimdal/kuser/kinit.c:513 (current), if we get
back a krb4 response, a krb4 request will be done.

Now there are krb4 server around here too that I have to use. But they will
be upgraded.

You probably need a /etc/krb5.conf otherwise krb5_init_context will fail
and kinit will not reach any of the intresting parts.
