Subject: Re:  Authentication forwarding

But how can a separate command forward tickets between two hosts in
a secure way?  There needs to be a session key kept between the two
parties, which is something that rlogin would have to do.  I like the
idea of being able to manually forward tickets, though;  I would then
be tempted in writing a "ksu", which is like "su", except it requires
kerberos tickets, not passwords.  Keeping login passwords off the network
doesn't help if people have to type in root passwords...
