The _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y utility destroys the user's active Kerberos
authorization tickets by writing zeros to the file that con-
tains them. If the ticket file does not exist, _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y
displays a message to that effect.
After overwriting the file, _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y removes the file from
the system. The utility displays a message indicating the
success or failure of the operation. If _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y is unable
to destroy the ticket file, the utility will warn you by
making your terminal beep.
In the Athena workstation environment, the _t_o_e_h_o_l_d service
automatically destroys your tickets when you end a worksta-
tion session. If your site does not provide a similar
ticket-destroying mechanism, you can place the _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y com-
mand in your ._l_o_g_o_u_t file so that your tickets are destroyed
automatically when you logout.
The options to _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y are as follows:
--ff _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y runs without displaying the status message.
--qq _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y will not make your terminal beep if it fails
to destroy the tickets.

Only the tickets in the user's current ticket file are des-
troyed. 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 tickets kept
in a single ticket file.
