kdestroy
Authored by: ssevenup on Feb 13, '06 01:33:08PM

I have found that if I obtain a Kerberos credential and then find myself on another network where the the issuing agent is unreachable, then ssh will hang. I would think kdestroy would be a better way to manage this than trashing the files manually. This problem is apparent on both Panther and Tiger if I'm not mistaken. ssh needs an argument available that pulls Kerberos out of the equation.

kdestroy works
Authored by: Jaharmi on Feb 17, '06 04:11:27AM

I had an expired Kerberos ticket after taking my work laptop home. When I used Destroy on that expired ticket in the Kerberos application (much easier to get to when you use LaunchBar, by the way), I was able to log in via SSH to a server at work. My laptop is bound to an Active Directory, and the domain controllers (and thus the KDC) are inaccessible from outside my office network.

Prior to that, I was unable to log in and the process would hang just where the original poster mentioned, when I was displaying progress with ssh -vvv.

This has been driving me nuts for a long time -- since at least the time Tiger debuted in April 2005.

I tried mv-ing the KLLCCache.lock file in the Kerberos tmp directory for my account, but my Terminal session became unresponsive while trying to do it. I thus gave up and moved to Mark's suggestion of using kdestroy.
