KDESTROY(1)KDESTROY(1)NAME
kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets
SYNOPSIS
kdestroy [ -f ] [ -q ]
DESCRIPTION
The kdestroy utility destroys the user's active Kerberos
authorization tickets by writing zeros to the file that
contains them. If the ticket file does not exist, kde-
stroy displays a message to that effect.
After overwriting the file, kdestroy removes the file from
the system. The utility displays a message indicating the
success or failure of the operation. If kdestroy is
unable to destroy the ticket file, the utility will warn
you by making your terminal beep.
You can place the kdestroy command in your .logout file so
that your tickets are destroyed automatically when you
logout.
The options to kdestroy are as follows:
-f kdestroy runs without displaying the status mes-
sage.
-q kdestroy will not make your terminal beep if it
fails to destroy the tickets.
FILES
KRBTKFILE environment variable if set, otherwise
/tmp/tkt[uid]
SEE ALSOkerberos(1), kinit(1), klist(1)BUGS
Only the tickets in the user's current ticket file are
destroyed. Separate ticket files are used to hold root
instance and password changing tickets. These files
should probably be destroyed too, or all of a user's tick-
ets kept in a single ticket file.
