Thank you for sending the bugreport!

I've checked this, he is right.
I get the same fails after shutting down the networkinterface.

(I think it depends on the underlying Kerberosimplemention what happens,
I'm using MIT 1.3).

Skipping tests on some conditions is no problem,
I can add that.

But I dont't know *what* condition to test.
Sure I can test if $ENV{TEST_ONLINE} is set, but who or what software
sets that System-variable?

Can you help me and answer what's the condition to test to?
