Do You Need to Worry About Tickets?

PAM can be set up to automatically get tickets when you log in. It is possible that your SEAM configuration does not include this automatic forwarding of tickets, but it is the default behavior.

Most of the Kerberized commands also automatically destroy your tickets when they exit. However, you might want to explicitly destroy your Kerberos tickets with kdestroy when you are through with them, just to be sure. See "How to Destroy Tickets" for more information on kdestroy.

For information on ticket lifetimes, see "Ticket Lifetimes".
