NAME
     kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/kdestroy [-q] [-c cachename]


DESCRIPTION
     The kdestroy utility destroys  the  user's  active  Kerberos
     authorization  tickets  by  writing  zeros  to the specified
     credentials cache that contains  them.  If  the  credentials
     cache  is  not  specified,  the default credentials cache is
     destroyed. If the credentials cache does not exist, kdestroy
     displays a message to that effect.


     After overwriting the cache, kdestroy removes the cache from
     the  system.  The  utility displays a message indicating the
     success or failure of the operation. If kdestroy  is  unable
     to destroy the cache, it will warn you by making your termi-
     nal beep.


     If desired, you can  place  the  kdestroy  command  in  your
     .logout  file  so  that your tickets are destroyed automati-
     cally when you logout.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -c cachename    Uses cachename as the credentials (ticket)
                      cache  name and location. If this option is
                      not used, the default cache name and  loca-
                      tion are used.


     -q               Runs quietly. Your terminal will  not  beep
                      when kdestroy fails to destroy the tickets.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     kdestroy uses the following environment variable:

     KRB5CNAME    Location of the  credentials  (ticket)  cache.
                   See krb5envvar(5) for syntax and details.


FILES
     /tmp/krb5ccuid    Default credentials  cache  (uid  is  the
                        decimal UID of the user).

BUGS
     Only the tickets in the specified credentials cache are des-
     troyed.  Separate  ticket  caches  are  used  to  hold  root
     instance and password changing tickets. These  files  should
     probably be destroyed too, or all of a user's tickets should
     be kept in a single credential cache.
