That's funny! I'm running CNS and when I use 'kadmin -t' it behaves exactly
the same as without '-t'. This is true whether or not I get an admin instance
ticket beforehand.
[I also notice that the '-t' option is not documented in the CNS User & Admin
Guide (which is why I just figured it wasn't supposed to work!)].
Besides, what do you do when, after issuing an 'ank', kadmin prompts for
the new user's password? Isn't that also directed to the 'real' terminal?
I wound up writing an expect script to add users in batch. As far as I can
see now, this is still necessary.
