I don't understand. What reason is it that you don't do it? What don't you do? My solution for deleting the ticket file after you log out works fine... I believe it is the same thing used by MIT Kerberos, and Kerberos4kth (although I can't double check right now). It seems just plain stupid to leave a Kerberos ticket around on a system after you have finished with it, and this is the only reliable way I know of removing it. Maybe you misread what I typed in and thought I still had major outstanding problems (ie that cannot easily be fixed)? -- Brian May <bam@snoopy.apana.org.au>
