+.SH NAME
+kinit \- Kerberos login utility
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kinit
+[
+.B \-irvlp
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I kinit
+command is used to login to the
+Kerberos
+authentication and authorization system.
+Note that only registered
+Kerberos
+users can use the
+Kerberos
+system.
+For information about registering as a
+Kerberos
+user,
+see the
+.I kerberos(1)
+manual page.
+.PP
+If you are logged in to a workstation that is running the
+.I toehold
+service,
+you do not have to use
+.I kinit.
+The
+.I toehold
+login procedure will log you into
+Kerberos
+automatically.
+You will need to use
+.I kinit
+only in those situations in which
+your original tickets have expired.
+(Tickets expire in about a day.)
+Note as well that
+.I toehold
+will automatically destroy your tickets when you logout from the workstation.
+.PP
+When you use
+.I kinit
+without options,
+the utility
+prompts for your username and Kerberos password,
+and tries to authenticate your login with the local
+Kerberos
+server.
+.PP
+If
+Kerberos
+authenticates the login attempt,
+.I kinit
+retrieves your initial ticket and puts it in the ticket file specified by
+your KRBTKFILE environment variable.
+If this variable is undefined,
+your ticket will be stored in the
+.IR /tmp
+directory,
+in the file
+.I tktuid ,
+where
+.I uid
+specifies your user identification number.
+.PP
+If you have logged in to
+Kerberos
+without the benefit of the workstation
+.I toehold
+system,
+make sure you use the
+.I kdestroy
+command to destroy any active tickets before you end your login session.
+You may want to put the
+.I kdestroy
+command in your
+.I \.logout
+file so that your tickets will be destroyed automatically when you logout.
+.PP
+The options to
+.I kinit
+are as follows:
+.TP 7
+.B \-i
+.I kinit
+prompts you for a
+Kerberos
+instance.
+.TP
+.B \-r
+.I kinit
+prompts you for a
+Kerberos
+realm.
+This option lets you authenticate yourself with a remote
+Kerberos
+server.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Verbose mode.
+.I kinit
+prints the name of the ticket file used, and
+a status message indicating the success or failure of
+your login attempt.
+.TP
+.B \-l
+.I kinit
+prompts you for a ticket lifetime in minutes. Due to protocol
+restrictions in Kerberos Version 4, this value must be between 5 and
+1275 minutes.
+.TP
+.B \-p
+.I kinit
+will acquires a ticket for chpass.kerberos.
