SYNOPSIS
       kdestroy [-q] [-c cache_name]

DESCRIPTION
       The  kdestroy utility destroys the user's active Kerberos authorization
       tickets by writing zeros to the specified credentials cache  that  con-
       tains  them.   If  the  credentials cache is not specified, the default
       credentials cache is destroyed.

OPTIONS
       -q     Run quietly.  Normally kdestroy beeps if it fails to destroy the
              user's tickets.  The -q flag suppresses this behavior.

       -c cache_name
              use  cache_name as the credentials (ticket) cache name and loca-
              tion; if this option is not used, the  default  cache  name  and
              location are used.

              The  default credentials cache may vary between systems.  If the
              KRB5CCNAME environment variable is set, its  value  is  used  to
              name the default ticket cache.

       Most  installations  recommend  that  you place the kdestroy command in
       your .logout file, so that your  tickets  are  destroyed  automatically
       when you log out.

ENVIRONMENT
       Kdestroy uses the following environment variables:

       KRB5CCNAME      Location  of the Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache.

FILES
       /tmp/krb5cc_[uid]  default location of  Kerberos  5  credentials  cache
                          ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user).

SEE ALSO
       kinit(1), klist(1), krb5(3)

BUGS
       Only  the  tickets  in  the  specified credentials cache are destroyed.
       Separate ticket caches are used to  hold  root  instance  and  password
       changing  tickets.  These should probably be destroyed too, or all of a
       user's tickets kept in a single credentials cache.
