It is called by .Xr login 1 , .Xr su 1 , .Xr ftpd 8 , and others to authenticate the .Ar user with KerberosV. .Pp The .Ar user argument is the user's name to be authenticated. .Pp The .Ar service argument specifies which protocol to use with the invoking program. The allowed protocols are .Em login , .Em challenge , and .Em response . (The .Em challenge protocol is silently ignored but will report success as KerberosV authentication is not challenge-response based). .Pp If .Ar invokinguser is set and the .Ar user argument is root, the principal invokinguser/root will be used for authentication. .Pp If the .Ar notickets argument is equal to .Dq no , the default value, and the .Ar login argument is equal to .Dq yes , then the ticket will be saved in a credentials cache. .Pp The .Ar class argument is ignored for compatibility with other login scripts. .Pp .Nm will prompt the user for a password and report back to the invoking program whether or not the authentication was successful. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr login 1 , .Xr passwd 1 , .Xr su 1 , .Xr login.conf 5 , .Xr ftpd 8 , .Xr kerberos 8 , .Xr login_krb5-or-pwd 8
