Do kerberos clients have both long and short versions of options, like
most gnu commands? Then you could have kinit -f or kinit --forwardable
and kinit -N or kinit --not-forwardable (or some such). Also, just a
word of warning: a lot of DOS/Windows types out there do not have the
appropriate software installed in their brains to handle
case-sensitive options. Even in my short stint of working with PC
users, I've run into this several times. Too bad something like
kinit +f vs. kinit -f couldn't have been natural, but I'm not really
suggesting that since the use of - to introduce options is so deeply
ingrained (and doesn't require a shift key like + does).... Just my
$0.02...
