/*

 * Effects:
 * 
 * Forms the default credential cache name for the current user, which
 * is defined in the following way.  If it is set, the environment
 * variable "KRB5CCACHE" will be used (up to the maximum number of
 * characters of a legal operating system defined path).  Otherwise
 * TKT_ROOT (from fcc.h) and the user's uid are concatenated to
 * produce the ticket file name (e.g., "/tmp/tkt123").  The pointer
 * returned is to static storage; the name must be copied elsewhere.
