The default ticket lifetime should be configurable in the profile...
There is an option "ticket_lifetime" in krb5.conf, but it is never
referenced by the code...

568-0$ find ../src -type f -print | xargs fgrep ticket_lifetime
../src/appl/bsd/login.c:krb5_deltat krb5_ticket_lifetime = KRB5_DEFAULT_LIFE;
../src/appl/bsd/login.c:    krb5_deltat lifetime = krb5_ticket_lifetime;
../src/config-files/krb5.conf:  ticket_lifetime = 600
../src/lib/krb5/krb/t_krb5.conf:        ticket_lifetime = 600
../src/mac/krb5.ini:    ticket_lifetime = 600
../src/util/profile/krb5.conf:  ticket_lifetime = 10 hours

Another oops... probably post-beta6, though...
However, the option should be removed from the examples/documentation in
beta6, if it isn't fixed.
