You no longer have to enter your password for using these applications because Kerberos
has already proven your identity. ssh, if compiled with Kerberos support, can even
forward all the tickets acquired for one workstation to another one. If you use ssh to
log in to another workstation, ssh makes sure that the encrypted contents of the tickets
are adjusted to the new situation. Simply copying tickets between workstations is not
sufficient because the ticket contains workstation-specific information (the IP address).
XDM, GDM, and KDM offer Kerberos support, too. Read more about the Kerberos
network applications in Kerberos V5 UNIX User's Guide at

gives quite an extensive insight to the basic principles of Kerberos without being
too difficult to read. It also provides a lot of opportunities for further investigation and
reading about Kerberos.
The official Kerberos FAQ is available at
