.SH NAME
kdestroy \- destroy Kerberos tickets
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kdestroy
[\fB\-A\fP] [\fB\-q\fP] [\fB\-c\fP \fIcache_name]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I kdestroy
utility destroys the user's active Kerberos authorization tickets by
writing zeros to the specified credentials cache that contains them.  If
the credentials cache is not specified, the default credentials cache is
destroyed.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-A
Destroys all caches in the collection, if a cache collection is
available.
.B \-q
Run quietly.  Normally
.B kdestroy
beeps if it fails to destroy the user's tickets.  The
.B \-q
flag suppresses this behavior.
.TP
\fB\-c\fP \fIcache_name\fP
use
.I cache_name
as the credentials (ticket) cache name and location; if this option is
not used, the default cache name and location are used.
.sp
The default credentials cache may vary between systems.  If the
.SM KRB5CCNAME
environment variable is set, its value is used to name the default
ticket cache.
.PP
Most installations recommend that you place the
.I kdestroy
command in your
.I .logout
file, so that your tickets are destroyed automatically when you log out.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.B Kdestroy
uses the following environment variables:
.TP "\w'.SM KRB5CCNAME\ \ 'u"
.SM KRB5CCNAME
Location of the default Kerberos 5 credentials (ticket) cache, in the
form \fItype\fP:\fIresidual\fP.  If no type prefix is present, the
\fBFILE\fP type is assumed.  The type of the default cache may
determine the availability of a cache collection; for instance, a
default cache of type \fBDIR\fP causes caches within the directory to
be present in the collection.
.SH FILES
.TP "\w'/tmp/krb5cc_[uid]\ \ 'u"
/tmp/krb5cc_[uid]
default location of Kerberos 5 credentials cache 
([uid] is the decimal UID of the user).
.SH SEE ALSO
kinit(1), klist(1), krb5(3)
.SH BUGS
.PP
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.
