set KRB_TKF=foo
This would allow DOS boxes to have a different ticket file as well since a
modifcation to the environment in a box doesn't affect the master
environment. E.g. my master environment may have
KRB_TKF=c:\net\ticket\pbh and a DOS box may have
KRB_TKF=r:\ticket\pbh-root, where "r:" is a ramdrive and pbh-root holds my
root instance tickets that I want to be really anal about and only use when
I'm working with a server that must remain secure.
Each vendor could have their own default fallback but all implementations
for DOS, Windows, Windows/NT, and OS/2 should use the environment variable
KRB_TKF as the override.
Any objections?
