Stephen,

I noticed a configuration option in postgresql.conf to increase the
message level to the client. I set client_min_messages = debug5 and
generated the attached mylog files.

mylog_1812.log is for an unsuccessful attempt to authenticate with
'User Name' = 'john'. This line from the log seems to suggest that
psqlODBC is not using the correct SPN:

[3876-0.060]!!! inlen=0 svcprinc=postgres/postgresql.columbia-stmarys.org

It should be 'POSTGRESQL/postgresql.columbia-stmarys.org. An
examination of tickets on the client with klist shows that a ticket is
not present for POSTGRESQL.

The attempt fails with:

[3876-0.060](-2146893053)The specified target is unknown or
unreachable in DoKerberosEtcProcessAuthentication:PerformKerberosEtcClientHandshake
ERRNO=1

mylog_936.log is for an unsuccessful attempt to authenticate with
'User Name' = 'jslatter'. Predictably, it fails with:

[2608-0.120]CONN ERROR: func=LIBPQ_connect, desc='', errnum=101,
errmsg='FATAL: role "jslatter" does not exist

but doesn't complain about a target being unreachable. An examination
of tickets on the client shows that one for
POSTGRESQL/postgresql.columbia-stmarys.org is now present.

Though you've already indicated it's not possible, the only thing that
occurs to me is that in the special case where 'User Name' is
specified, psqlODBC may not be respecting the PGKRBSRVNAME environment
variable.
