I fought a similar problem yesterday trying to get FTP working.  I kept
getting "context has expired" errors.  I found all my tickets had a zero
lifetime, both TGT and normal.

I used kadmin.local to set a maxlife on all the principals:

kadmin.local
modprinc -maxlife "10 hours" principal

I was then able to get FTP running.

I built with the completely standard configuration, not changing
anything.  Where is the default for maxlife coming from when you create
principals?

I didn't notice anything in the docs about having to set a maxlife.  I
just created principals the same way I did on beta5 and beta6.
