This is further complicated by the fact that there are no C library
routines for setenv() or unsetenv().
Actually, the C libraries that Athena is running now (in version 6.0)
do have these routines. However, this isn't sufficiently portable,
and it's sorta kludgy.
I
would propose that either the library be changed back to allow root to
write to people's ticket files, or a routine be added to the kerberos
library that will change the ticket file location (i.e. do a
setenv(KRBTKFILE, [location])).
The first is probably okay as long as it doesn't include depositing
new ticket-granting tickets there. Regardless of this, I would like
to see the second done as well.
