klist - list currently held Kerberos tickets klist [ -s | -t ] [ -file name ] [ -srvtab ]

klist prints the name of the tickets file and the identity of the principal the tickets are for (as listed in the tickets file), and lists the principal names of all Kerberos tickets currently held by the user, along with the issue and expire time for each authenticator. Principal names are listed in the form name.instance@realm, with the '.' omitted if the instance is null, and the '@' omitted if the realm is null. If given the -s option, klist does not print the issue and expire times, the name of the tickets file, or the identity of the principal. If given the -t option, klist checks for the existence of a non-expired ticket-granting-ticket in the ticket file. If one is present, it exits with status 0, else it exits with status 1. No output is generated when this option is specified. If given the -file option, the following argument is used as the ticket file. Otherwise, if the KRBTKFILE environment variable is set, it is used. If this environment variable is not set, the file /tmp/tkt[uid] is used, where uid is the current user-id of the user. If given the -srvtab option, the file is treated as a service key file, and the names of the keys contained therein are printed. If no file is specified with a -file option, the default is /etc/srvtab .

2i /etc/krb.conf to get the name of the local realm

/tmp/tkt[uid] as the default ticket file ([uid] is the decimal UID of the user).

/etc/srvtab as the default service key file

kerberos(1), kinit(1), kdestroy(1)

When reading a file as a service key file, very little sanity or error checking is performed.
