Hi I need to test whether the user has tickets before running a script. ldbmodify needs this: --kerberos=yes --krb5-ccache=$ccache passing to it: function setup { ccache=$(klist -e | grep Ticket | cut -d ":" -f3) if [ -z $ccache ] then echo "Please get a ticket. Try: kinit" exit 1 fi But maybe it's an old cache not destroyed. Is there and easy way to do this? Cheers, Steve
