product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
When we have a database catalogued as using Kerberos 
authentication, the migration from v8 to v9.x will render the 
catalog directory unusable 
 
To reproduce: 
1. 
$ db2 catalog tcpip node thost remote thost server 50000 
DB20000I  The CATALOG TCPIP NODE command completed successfully. 
DB21056W  Directory changes may not be effective until the 
directory cache is 
refreshed. 
$ db2 catalog database tkerb as tkerb at node thost 
authentication kerberos target principal db2@thost.db2lab.com 
DB20000I  The CATALOG DATABASE command completed successfully. 
DB21056W  Directory changes may not be effective until the 
directory cache is 
refreshed.
