On the trunk:

% ./bin/kinit -\?
./bin/kinit: illegal option -- ?
Usage: kinit [-V] [-l lifetime] [-s start_time]
	[-r renewable_life] [-f | -F] [-p | -P] [-a | -A] [-C]
	[-E]
	[-v] [-R] [-k [-t keytab_file]] [-c cachename]
	[-S service_name]-T ticket_armor_cache
	[-X <attribute>[=<value>]] [principal]

     options:	-V verbose
	-l lifetime
	-s start time
	-r renewable lifetime
	-f forwardable
	-F not forwardable
	-p proxiable
	-P not proxiable
	-a include addresses
	-A do not include addresses
	-v validate
	-R renew
	-C canonicalize
	-E client is enterprise principal name
	-k use keytab
	-t filename of keytab to use
	-c Kerberos 5 cache name
	-S service
	-X <attribute>[=<value>]

The "-T ticket_armor_cache" should be in square brackets, unless it's  
a required option, and for consistency should be separated from the "- 
S service_name" option by one space.  It should also be listed with a  
description further down.

There should also be a line break between "options:" and the "-V"  
description.

(Sorry, no patch handy.)
