Storing TGT in cache

[Matt]

Hmmm.... this is quite an interesting thought for me.  It would be very 
useful for an applet to function as a "kinit" to a number of realms, 
which would then store a TGT within my Win2k/Apple/Linux local cache, 
such that my local applications and utilities can connect to Kerberized 
resources (file shares, spnego-web, etc)    Of course, the need for 
multiple OS's means this would need to be a standard part of the JVM (or 
separate OS aware Java packages).

Does such a beast exist?
