I also like it that Heimdal's pagsh (kpagsh, in Debian) will generate a
new KRB5CCNAME, so that a subsequent kinit will not clobber the Kerberos
ccache of the parent process. OpenAFS's pagsh shouldn't (and doesn't) do
that since OpenAFS tries to be agnostic about where the tokens come from
(it doesn't have to be Kerberos 5).

Yeah, OpenAFS has a pagsh.krb that does this for the K4 KRBTKFILE, but
like most of the rest of the K4-only stuff, it's not installed in the
Debian packages.

It does that because the *.krb utilities also maintain kerberos ticket files; for example, klog.krb will leave you with a TGT that you can use for other applications.

Those tools are deprecated, and IMHO a pagsh.krb5 would be inappropriate, unless we plan on shipping a complete suite of tools that manage krb5 tickets, as we did for krb4.
