Unfortunately, I deleted it.  However, I think it was one corresponding
to a /var/log/messages entry like this one:

        Apr 10 23:58:31 rail setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon from name_connect access on the tcp_socket . For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l aeded892-dec1-4e6d-87ce-7c10a4e42e2b

(Though I get the impression that login is currently falling back to
local authentication; because I don't have a Kerberos ticket after I log
