Kerberos and Red Hat Enterprise Linux - Now friends

Following a number of previous posts, including: -

I was looking for, and failing to find, utilities such as ktutil and ktlist on my RHEL 7.6 box.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23784 Aug  1 20:34 /bin/ktutil

so I can do this: -

rkt() { echo -e "read_kt $1\nlist\nquit" | ktutil | grep -v "^ktutil:";}

rkt /mnt/was.uk.ibm.com.keytab 

ktutil:  read_kt /mnt/was.uk.ibm.com.keytab
