Hmmm.... but I'm not trying to redirect the password prompt... in fact, kinit won't let me redirect the password prompt, it still displays it in the shell (NOT as a Windows dialog): C:\> kinit 2>err.our Password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That's fine.... and I'm not suggesting it should work any different... for the password prompt that is... But if I'm using "kinit -kt" or "klist" or "kdestroy"... (none of which should prompt for a password or require any keyboard input), then I think you should be able to redirect stderr. Unfortunately, if I try to run any of those commands and I get an error AND stderr is re-directed then I get a Windows dialog instead. C:\> kinit -kt foobar 2>err.out (Windows dialog with error, nothing in err.out) The problem is, if you're running an automated background job using a keytab and something's wrong (eg the keytab is missing), it makes it VERY difficult to find the problem. You can't redirect stderr because that triggers a Windows dialog which could cause the background job to hang waiting for user input it's never going to get. Or if it doesn't hang, there's no way to log the error to see why it failed. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
