It basically does the same thing that kinit does...

It tries to get an initial ticket, and if it succeeds it clears the
screen.  In fact, some of the code is taken from kinit, some from
internals to the kerberos library.

The password isnt stored anywhere, and its no more a security hole
than if, say, kinit core-dumped in a publically readable place....
