kdestroy - destroy Kerberos tickets

The _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by utility destroys the user's active Kerberos
authorization tickets by writing zeros to the file that
contains them. If the ticket file does not exist, _\bk_\bd_\be_\b-
_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by displays a message to that effect.
After overwriting the file, _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by removes the file from
the system. The utility displays a message indicating the
success or failure of the operation. If _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by is
unable to destroy the ticket file, the utility will warn
you by making your terminal beep.
In the Athena workstation environment, the _\bt_\bo_\be_\bh_\bo_\bl_\bd service
automatically destroys your tickets when you end a work-
station session. If your site does not provide a similar
ticket-destroying mechanism, you can place the _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by
command in your _\b._\bl_\bo_\bg_\bo_\bu_\bt file so that your tickets are
destroyed automatically when you logout.
The options to _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by are as follows:
-\b-f\bf _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by runs without displaying the status mes-
sage.
-\b-q\bq _\bk_\bd_\be_\bs_\bt_\br_\bo_\by will not make your terminal beep if it
fails to destroy the tickets.

Only the tickets in the user's current ticket file are
destroyed. Separate ticket files are used to hold root
instance and password changing tickets. These files
should probably be destroyed too, or all of a user's tick-
ets kept in a single ticket file.
