Hello,

Can I disable Kerberos on the command line?

After a recent Fedora update, Rdesktop 1.9.0 was installed.   At that point I could no longer login using -d domain -u user and -p password.

However, Kerberos logins work great but only when my local credentials are the target credentials.   Is there a way to turn off Kerberos authentication when using credentials on the command line?

My problem is that on my desktop I use "normal" logins and when I connect to a Windows server to do administration, I need an "admin" login.

For example:
I login. I run "kinit me".  I can rdesktop to a system and it will use my "me" credentials.
Later I need to login to a server as "domain\admin-me".   Whatever I use for  command line credentials it fails.

My workaround is:
kinit admin-me; rdesktop server-name ; kinit me
Or:
kdestroy ; rdesktop -u admin-me -d domain server-name ; kinit me

I spend all day kinit-ing.

Please help save my fingers.

Gary
