Hi,

We have installed leash and hostexplorer on Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3),
and we found an unexpected behavior ('bug').

I logged on, got my kerberos tgt and a few others logging into other machines.
Then I logged off, and my friend logged on.  After he logged on we found that
my tickets had not been destroyed when I logged off, and they were available
for his use.  As a consequence when he used hostexplorer to connect to
irene.mit.edu, a VMS machine in our lab that runs MULTINET kerberos client,
he was immediately connected into MY account without being asked for username
and password.

So each of us using the WindowsNT machine must learn to actively destroy
our tickets before logging out.  This is basically unacceptable, since we
may not always remember to do this.  And what happens when we have to explain
it to the lab secretaries?...

                  Thanks for any help,

                           David S. Woodruff
