You will need to use a pty instead of a pipe to run kinit that way: it requires a terminal, or something that looks like one. The error is because it is performing a terminal-specific device control operation (switching off key echo). You might want to look at something like "expect" which is available as a library for many different programming languages. However, you'd do better to find a Kerberos library for that language instead. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix openafs kerberos infrastructure xmonad http://sinenomine.net ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
