A daemon approach would facilitate interesting features, such as:
- the daemon can know how to prompt the user in order to fetch new creds when the ones it has expire - the daemon could "proxy" the ccache over to the user's initial point of login so that the daemon itself has no TGT and TGT forwarding is not necessary instead being replaced with ticket proxying The daemon can be changed at any time to implement interesting features like these; the shared memory approach would require changes to libkrb5 to implement such features. Shared memory would do, yes. But then, why bother with CCAPI? What's the difference between using shmget(), or open()/mmap() to get to a ccache and plain open()?
