I currently implementing authentication for Vice using kerberos.
The question I have is should file server mappings (a mapping is what
tells the server that uid XXX on host YY is really user ZZZ) expire? In
the current athena set up if you log in and work for 8 hours, your
kerberos tickets will expire preventing you from reading your mail and
attaching new filesystems. However, you can still read and write to all
already attached filesystems, including your home directory. The
question is, should your ability to read and write to already existing
filesystems expire when your tickets do? Comments would be great. Note
that this is just a private opinion poll.
