By default Samba client tools will try to use the
773+
default Kerberos credential cache (ccache).
774+
In case the ccache does not exist or -U|--user option
775+
was specified, clients will ask to enter a password and
776+
will obtain a Kerberos ticket (kinit) for you.
777+
778+
If you want to use an alternative Kerberos credentical
779+
cache, use the --use-krb5-ccache option.
