   Ok. I tried everybody's suggestions (one at a time and
   collectively).

Did you change the max_life of *all* principals in the database, or
just the user principal you are kiniting as?  In particular, did you
change the max_life of krbtgt/DAUPHIN?  If not, that is the problem.
As you can see from the KDC code,

    enc_tkt_reply.times.endtime =
	min(until,
	    min(enc_tkt_reply.times.starttime + client.max_life,
		min(enc_tkt_reply.times.starttime + server.max_life,
		    enc_tkt_reply.times.starttime + max_life_for_realm)));

the lifetime of a ticket depends on the max_life of the client and
server (and the requested value, and the value specified via kdc.conf
(or a default)).

If that still doesn't fix the problem, then I'll be concerned. :-)
