System name:		Paddington
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.7K (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAGB-BA

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.
