Kerberos error in Console whenever I log into my Mac from the screensaver


when mac wakes up, asks me password. when type password in correctly , logs me in, notice creates error on console:

code:
loginwindow[32]	in pam_sm_authenticate(): failed determine kerberos principal name.
i did research , find stuff ssh, notice standard loginwindow. i'm not running server , have ssh turned off. can work out, though, error meant represent failed login attempt. why come on successful login attempts? there reason this? what's meant happen?

know it's nothing still, find myself quite curious.
 

you shouldn't concerned this. kerberos part of login process. when logging in, computer tries several things until finds 1 works. seeing not using kerberos log in (but local directory), can't find user principal, that's why happening.

anyway, that's think.
