ksu sets the wrong permissions on the cache file!

One more thing, I had to go back to su and it works correctly. I can
successfully su to a different user and access the new home directory
without any problems but I'm keen to use ksu as all services on my
cluster have been moved to Kerberos. To clarify, to be able to access the home directory, the user must have a valid ticket in the target user's cache. What exactly happens is all tickets are saved in the source user's cache which is not readable by the target user. This is why it fails to mount the home directory, please advice. Again, this is only happening with ksu
