error message after kdestroy

[Tom Parker]

I only have experience in Linux however the correct behavior of klist
after a kdestroy is to fail.  Linux returns "No credentials cache found
while getting default ccache".  Maybe windows just silently fails.

kinit initializes the credential cache with a TGT for the user.

klist lists the entries of the credential cache.

kdestroy destroys the credential cache.

If you have run kdestroy then the cache has been deleted and there is
nothing to list with klist.

Hope this helps a little.
