Transarc's klog only gets a Kerberos ticket if -tmp is specified on the
command line. (I think that that is a horrible choice of name, because you
shouldn't put Kerberos tickets in /tmp to begin with)
To be compatibility with the Transarc tools we really need to keep it this
way. It would be nice to be better, but we don't want to blindly break all
existing scripts and confuse users who are used to the Transarc behavior.
One thing to keep in mind is that if klog gets a ticket, it will overwrite
any existing ticket; if you want to get a token for another cell, you
don't necessarily want to destroy an existing Kerberos ticket.
