I have been using the GSS-API to write Kerberos applications, and now
I have been given the job of allowing all our client and server
processes to run and have them do the equivalent of a kinit from C
code, plus to not create a credentials cache file (supposedly to
increase security). Does anybody know:
1) How can I merge gss-client.c and kinit.c to create a program that
does not use a credentials cache file?
2) Does this really increase security to store a password in a C
program? Is there a better way?
