NAME¶
.k5login - Kerberos V5 acl file for host access.DESCRIPTION¶
The .k5login file, which resides in a user's home directory, contains a list of the Kerberos principals. Anyone with valid tickets for a principal in the file is allowed host access with the UID of the user in whose home directory the file resides. One common use is to place a .k5login file in root's home directory, thereby granting system administrators remote root access to the host via Kerberos.EXAMPLES¶
Suppose the user "alice" had a .k5login file in her home directory containing the following line:
bob@FUBAR.ORG
alice@BLEEP.COM joeadmin/root@BLEEP.COM
