Hmm, I don't know about this one. What if you die due to SIGTERM or
something (which is what systemd generally sends processes). They won't
get cleaned up in that case.

What may be better is to just keep the atexit handler but have it do a
getpid() and only do the cleanup if its the original pid of the daemon.
Just do a getpid early during gssd startup and store it in a global
variable somewhere.

That said, maybe I should take a step back and ask -- why does gssd
clean up this credcache in the first place? Is there some attack vector
that this prevents, or is it just to prevent a ton of credcaches piling
up in /tmp?
