Description Hartmut Goebel 2013-10-24 20:51:54 CEST 
This is what Fedora >18 does. See .spec-file in ftp://ftp.icm.edu.pl/vol/rzm2/linux-fedora-secondary/updates/testing/19/SRPMS/krb5-1.11.3-1.fc19.src.rpm

Storing the credential-cache in /run/user has the benefit, that /tmp will not be cluttered with user-related files. Further this seams to be the place to store ephemeral user data.

From fedoras .spec-file:
....8<---
%if 0%{?fedora} > 18 || 0%{?rhel} > 6
DEFCCNAME=DIR:/run/user/%%{uid}/krb5cc; export DEFCCNAME
%endif
[...]
* Fri Apr 12 2013 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> 1.11.1-9
- move the compiled-in default ccache location from the previous default of
  FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_%%{uid} to DIR:/run/user/%%{uid}/krb5cc (part of #949588)
....8<---

Comment 1 Guillaume Rousse 2013-10-30 23:29:56 CET 
This does change both the location and the type of the default credential cache, for reasons explained here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KRB5DirCache
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KRB5CacheMove

Moreover, that's for fedora 18 and 19 only, fedora 20 seems to use kernel keyring directly, backported from incoming 1.12 release:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/krb5.git/tree/krb5.spec
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Projects/Keyring_collection_cache

That's a bit more invasive than I'm willing to test right now...

The lack of comment since 2013 is quite explicit: no change ever occurred.
