Note that also Heimdal includes the kcm daemon, which can effectively do the same thing (acquire credentials using a keytab, and/or keep on renewing them).
It would be great to see k5start work with Heimdal -- I think I might have tried at one point but given up :-) -- Luke >From: Russ Allbery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Porting k5start to Heimdal >To: [email protected] >Date: Wed, 04 May 2005 11:16:31 -0700 >Organization: The Eyrie > >Hello folks, > >I maintain a modified version of kinit that can run as a daemon to >maintain a ticket cache for another application and can also run a >particular command and renew credentials until the command exits (using a >keytab).
