openssh unix dev - Dec 2008 - SSHD does not cleanup kerberos ticket while root logins

Hi all,

It looks like a bug for me, but I'd like to ask if someone has the same
problem. We are using OpenSSH 4.3p2 from Debian 4.0 (stable), but the
same problem is with original OpenSSH 4.3p2. When root logins with his
kerberos ticket and then logout, his ticket remains on the machine. I
found in source (sshd.c) in privsep_postauth function, that if root
logins then use_privsep is set to 0 and call of function
do_setusercontext is skipped. But the function do_setusercontext calls
ssh_gssapi_storecreds where structure client->store.filename is filled
with the filename of kerberos ticket. So then if
ssh_gssapi_cleanup_creds is called it does nothing because
gssapi_client.store.filename is empty.

We are using also pam_krb5, but with option minimal_uid=200, so the root
login is not affected.

My sshd_config:
Port 22
Protocol 2
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
UsePrivilegeSeparation yes

KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
