What were you trying to do?
use kinit and kdestroy
What's wrong:
using kinit with an unknown principal used to provide
immediate feedback as to whether the principal exists,
now it issues a password prompt regardless of whether
the principal exists.
using kdestroy says tickets have been destroyed regardless
of whether a ticket file existed.
What should have happened:
I supposed that's debatable but it's definitely a change
in behavior and the change leads to delayed or
suppressed information.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Previous release behavior.
