Thanks Ken, that will be very helpful. With regards to kinit, what about adding the version as part of the "verbose" output with the -V option? That's certainly not unheard of, OpenSSH prints the client version with it's verbose output. And... from what I can tell, the -V option isn't really all that useful anyway. The only thing I've ever seen it print is: Authenticated to Kerberos v5 after a successful authentication. And speaking of the -V option... are there any plans (or could there be plans) to improve the -V output? Something that would really be helpful when trying to debug problems would be to show the KDC it's trying to access. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
