I don't know. A quick look through the source would lead me to believe the
/etc/krb.equiv file doesn't work with kerberos5/gssapi, but was written for
kerberos_v4.

Another way to accomplish username mapping is with a libsasl user
canonicalization plugin, which would allow you to arbitrarily match
usernames to mailboxes. There are two such plugins: ldapdb (in 2.1.24rc1)
and sql (cyrus bugzilla bug 3219).
