----------------------------------
+1 for the patch. Thanks [~Alexander Haskell] for the contribution!
bq. I would also like to propose as a new feature to allow a KrbClient to be
able to make multiple requests. As the KrbClient stands now it seems to be a
"single shot" tool.
Yes you're right right now it's a single run. This sounds great for a long time
running service to reuse a KrbClient instance repeatedly.

> KrbClient does not close sockets at the end of a request. This is not a
> problem for KinitTool as the jvm closes the sockets at program termination. A
> longer running application has to rely on the garbage collector cleaning up
> open sockets. The most likely location to do this appears to be at the end of
> DefaultInternalKrbClient.doRequest\{T,S}gt() by calling release() on
> DefaultInternalKrbClient.transport.
