31 <title>Description</title>
32 <para>The <emphasis role="bold">kas delete</emphasis> command removes from the Authentication Database the
33 user entry named by the <emphasis role="bold">-name</emphasis> argument. The indicated user becomes
34 unable to log in, or the indicated server becomes unreachable (because the
35 Authentication Server's Ticket Granting Service module no longer has a key
36 with which to seal tickets for the server).</para>
