Cygwin and Kerberos

[Lee_Machine]

Let me prefix this question with if this is the wrong forum please point me in the direction of the correct one.

I'm using Cygwin and Windows 7 and ssh via Cygwin to Linux servers and workstation, to include Ubuntu. For authentication there is always the password but like not having to type my password 1000 times a day so I use my Windows AD kerberos tickets to login to Linux servers that are also on the Window domain. This all works but tickets expire everyday so I would like to add a statement to my bashrc like"

if kerberos_ticket == expired
then kinit
fi

Looking at the man pages for kinit and klist I don't see how I could script this out. I guess I could grep/awk the output of klist but are there any quick solutions?

thanks,

Brandon

Maybe your solution is to use SSH keys instead of passwords as described in the following link

Thanks, I'm familiar with SSH keys and have that setup too but for hosts that don't have trusted ssh keys setup kerberos works to supplement that.

I think you'll have to script it.
