Does anyone know if there's a way to make our default-installed K4 move it's tickets somewhere other than /tmp without rebuilding? /tmp on my busy machines gets filled with ticket files (sometimes many for a particular user with different variations on the same name). On CMU's Andrew workstations, they make use of a /tkt with restrictive access rights for ticket files, which can be cleaned seperately from /tmp, and more importantly, in a different namespace. It sounds like the kind of thing that's hardcoded (and if I remember from my last source inspection, it is), but perhaps we could make it something configurable? I guess there is no tradition of a /etc/kerberosIV/krb.rc (.conf already taken) with a configuration namespace and names/values :-). This could also be used to configure other host-based policy--maximum ticket lifespans that the library should acquire, defaults for ticket-passing behavior once we get K5, etc. Installing a customer Kerberos on my machines to get a prettier /tmp sounds unfortunate, and definitely increases the time-to-make-useful on machine installs.
