Yeah, this is a bug in 4.1 that's fixed in Git. I need to get a 4.2
release out. 4.1 retries on any failure *except* the very first
authentication. (That was originally intentional, but I've become
convinced that it was a bad idea.)
I can backport 4.2 to wheezy once the release (both kstart and wheezy) are
out. The version at:
git://git.eyrie.org/kerberos/kstart.git
should work as you expect if you are running into this enough that it
makes sense to build a local package in the interim.
