kf

KF(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						     KF(1)

NAME

     kf -- securely forward tickets

SYNOPSIS

     kf [-p port | --port=port] [-l login | --login=login] [-c ccache | --ccache=ccache] [-F | --forwardable] [-G | --no-forwardable]
	[-h | --help] [--version] host ...

DESCRIPTION

     The kf program forwards tickets to a remote host through an authenticated and encrypted stream.  Options supported are:

     -p port, --port=port
	     port to connect to

     -l login, --login=login
	     remote login name

     -c ccache, --ccache=ccache
	     remote cred cache

     -F, --forwardable
	     forward forwardable credentials

     -G, --no-forwardable
	     do not forward forwardable credentials

     -h, --help

     --version

     kf is useful when you do not want to enter your password on a remote host but want to have your tickets one for example AFS.

     In order for kf to work you will need to acquire your initial ticket with forwardable flag, i.e.  kinit --forwardable.

     telnet is able to forward tickets by itself.
