Hi Mark, The source I downloaded and compiled with to test just a few hours ago today was actually from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z (2004.88).
If it was 2004a that I downloaded, then the issue doesn't appear to be resolved in this version as upon logout or disconnect the PAM kerberos ticket is still left in /tmp. If you are sure it is resolved in 2004b then I will wait for its release, or if you can recommend what file(s) I can patch 2004a with I would appreciate greatly.

The current release version, imap-2004a, adds a logout hook which will do the PAM_DELETE_CRED at logout or disconnect time and should resolve the issue. You can always find the current version on: ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z There is also an experimental development snapshot of imap-2004b on: ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-2004b.DEV.tar.Z By the way, just as an observation: I thought that inode depletion was not considered to be an issue on Linux. At least, the advocates of the one-message/one-file class formats (such as maildir) have claimed that I am silly for worrying about inode depletion... Anyway, I've always been concerned about old PAM credential files not being cleaned up, but the problem with DFS home space was a worse problem. I think that this is all resolved in imap-2004b. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
