=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<kas delete> command removes from the Authentication Database the
user entry named by the B<-name> argument. The indicated user becomes
unable to log in, or the indicated server becomes unreachable (because the
Authentication Server's Ticket Granting Service module no longer has a key
with which to seal tickets for the server).

=head1 OPTIONS

Authentication Server for execution of the command. For more details, see

echo it visibly. For more details, see L<kas(8)>.

Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
