What were you trying to do?
Wipe a file out with kdestroy.
What's wrong:
The file was a directory, but kdestroy did nothing, printed no
errors, and exited with status 0.
This is because dest_tkt() in
/source/athena/athena.lib/kerberos/lib/krb/dest_tkt.c will
always return KSUCCESS if the ticket file is not a
regular file.
What should have happened:
I am not going to submit a fix for this, because lots
of programs (not just kdestroy) call dest_tkt(), and
some of them may expect this broken behavior. However,
these should be tracked down and fixed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
kdestroy(1)
