Public bug reported: Binary package hint: krb5-user
The obvious use case is a user does something silly such as: sudo kinit -p <principal> and promptly makes a root:root ccache file for the specified principal. Then the user later tries to kinit as that user and in fact everything *looks* fine...the kinit doesn't print any errors and returns 0. However the truth is nothing was done because the ccache is the wrong permissions. klist prints an error well enough: klist: Credentials cache permissions incorrect while setting cache flags (ticket cache FILE:/var/run/ccache/krb5cc_45531_DIPCWB) -A ** Affects: krb5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740477 Title: kinit should print an error if credentials cache has invalid permissions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
