kdestroy(8krb) kdestroy(8krb)
Name
kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets
Syntax
/usr/bin/kdestroy [ -f ] [ -q ]
Description
The 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, displays a message to that effect.
After overwriting the file, removes the file from the system. The utility displays a message indicating the success or failure of the oper-
ation. If is unable to destroy the ticket file, the utility will issue a warning by making the terminal beep. The ticket file has the
name, where uid is the user ID of the process.
If your site does not provide a ticket-destroying mechanism, you can place the command in your file so that your tickets are destroyed
automatically at logout.
Options
-f Causes to run without displaying the status message.
-q Disables terminal beeping if fails to destroy the tickets.
Restrictions
The utility is useful only in environments with user-level authentication. ULTRIX Kerberos does not support user-level authentication.
Only the tickets in the user's current ticket file are destroyed.
