KDESTROY(1) BSD Reference Manual KDESTROY(1) NNAAMMEE kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS kkddeessttrrooyy [ --ff ] [ --qq ] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN 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 contains 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 work- station session. If your site does not provide a similar ticket-destroying mechanism, you can place the _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y command 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 mes- sage. --qq _k_d_e_s_t_r_o_y will not make your terminal beep if it fails to destroy the tickets. FFIILLEESS KRBTKFILE environment variable if set, otherwise /tmp/tkt[uid] SSEEEE AALLSSOO kerberos(1), kinit(1), klist(1) BBUUGGSS Only the tickets in the user's current ticket file are destroyed. 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 tick- ets kept in a single ticket file.
