Installation

In Ubuntu, kinit and ssh are in the packages heimdal-clients and openssh-client. The package heimdal-clients-x contains some extra applications that might come handy in the future. Install these packages with your favorite package manager or by executing:

sudo apt-get install heimdal-clients-x
sudo apt-get install openssh-client

The openssh-client package was probably already installed.
