Win is right; several kinds of errors map to the "can't get
ticket (get_credentials)" error. Would the following breakdown
in error messages suffice?
problem with ticket file (perror)
could be it doesn't exit,
can't be read,
is locked by another application,
is in bad format (not perror in this case;
Kerberos bad-ticket-file-format error)
ticket-granting ticket expired -- run "kinit"
Rob French pointed this out.
There's no point in going to Kerberos and
asking for an application ticket when the
ticket-granting ticket is expired.
