Another ramification of this is that all winapps will see the same
ticket file, and will therefore be constrained to a particular principal.
This is assuming that you set KRB_TKF before you start windows.
The winapps can only see the environment variable values which are set
before you start windows.
I'm not making a judgement as to whether this is good or bad,
I am simply pointing it out.
A further thought, for the sake of building some expansion space
into the scheme, what if the variable pointed to a directory instead
of a file. This would allow for multiple ticket files in the future,
or is this not needed ?
