Hi,

For some time (years) I've been using tickets with a 1 minute lifetime 
(in cron jobs). Lately, this is giving me problems:

$ kinit -l 1m -k -t <keytab> <principal> && kvno 'host/<host>'
kvno: Ticket expired while getting credentials for host/<host>@<domain>

With RHEL7 (krb5-1.12.2), the problems seem to be much worse, so I did a 
little experimentation which seems to indicate some kind of limit at 120s:

$ kinit -l 120s -k -t <keytab> <principal> && kvno 'host/<host>'
kvno: Ticket expired while getting credentials for host/<host>@<domain>
$ kinit -l 121s -k -t <keytab> <principal> && kvno 'host/<host>' 
host/<host>@<domain>: kvno = 3

The first fails 90% of the time, the second succeeds 90% of the time.

What am I seeing here, and is it supposed to be like this?

Thanks,

Robbert
