OK. That is very helpful. The last time I had to deal with any sort of
Kerberos environment containers were not yet a thing.

That article is rather interesting and informative.

OK. Either of these seem like viable solutions in my case. I'll give the
article another read-through and then implement its suggestion, or the
other if it seems that will make for a smoother workflow.

I suppose that would also accomplish a number of other things too :-)

Given that in my case the sole purpose is to do some packaging work, I
think either of KRB5CCNAME or changing /etc/krb5.conf are "correct".

Thanks very much for the assitance and the pointer to the blog article.
