NAME
kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/kdestroy [-q] [-c cache_name]
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 cache_name
Uses cache_name as the credentials (ticket) cache name
and location. If this option is not used, the default
cache name and location are used.
-q Runs quietly. Your terminal will not beep when kdes-
troy fails to destroy the tickets.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
kdestroy uses the following environment variable:
KRB5CCNAME
Location of the credentials (ticket) cache.
FILES
/tmp/krb5cc_uid
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.
