[Bug 1824169] [NEW] krdc asks for unspecified password when reconnecting

[Andrew Kay]

Public bug reported:

If I quit krdc without disconnecting sessions (eg by logging out of
xubuntu), then when I restart krdc it tries to restart the session (I
don't think it should, but that's not the bug), and correctly asks me
for a password.

However, it doesn't specify the host when asking for the password.
Since I connect to different hosts and I don't always remember which one
I used last, I may type the wrong password (ie from a different host.)
This seems like a security problem, as well as an inconvenience.

I would expect the password dialogue to include the identity of the host
system.
