i had this error too some weeks ago...

i _think_ this is a locked out domain user trying to log in and the KDC refuses initial credentials.

another possibility is that someone tries principal user@FOO where the Windows2000 domain
ist FOO.COMPANY.COM and the client kinit program cannot set bit 15 (IIRC) to canonicalize the
realm name.

I am seeing this error on WIN2K KDC in my lab.

I traced the IP's back to a hacker group in Taiwan and they are trying a buffer overflow to change usernames and break in.

If anyone gets a better idea of the process and function call they are making, please forward to the list.

My IDS is triggering on the error as well.

my solution for now is to block that IP range at the screening router on the edge.

hope to grep the logs this weekend and try and correlate the events in IDS to the Win2k error log

If you can get a packet capture of this request it would be
interesting.
