This implements http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/Projects/What_does_God_need_with_a_password. If the KDB keytab is selected by command line options, then kinit will register the KDB keytab and open the database. This permits an administrator to obtain tickets as a user without knowing that user's password. As a result kinit links against libkadm5srv and libkdb5. Discussion is ongoing about whether this is desirable or about whether two versions of kinit are required. https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/d100b4410ab933e21b4f3390f1b2f27d4e872442 Commit By: hartmans Revision: 24316 Changed Files: U trunk/src/clients/kinit/Makefile.in A trunk/src/clients/kinit/extern.h U trunk/src/clients/kinit/kinit.M U trunk/src/clients/kinit/kinit.c A trunk/src/clients/kinit/kinit_kdb.c U trunk/src/tests/t_general.py
