just a note...
it appears the bsdi version of su uses kerbose tickets if kerbose is
configured.

Yes, but the BSDI kerberosIV implementation does not appear to
have the problem (the tf_init() routine which opens the ticket
file checks to see that the real uid of the process is either
root or owns the ticket file).

   thanks to the Internet, we know that's not true.
