That sounds right to me, assuming that you mean a ticket for the target user (not just any ticket). > However, there is a believe that the we should be able to ksu to all the > any non-root user ( when logged in as root ) similar to su command. but If one wants su, I think one should just use su. "root" has no special meaning for Kerberos, and the above behavior seems more useful to me for ksu. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
