When renewing or using kinit on an 8.4.0 Solaris machine, I get
krb4 tickets with a 5 minute lifetime. This doesn't appear to happen
when logging in via telnet or from xlogin (logging in with ssh got me no
tickets at all).
It looks like nothing in kinit is actually setting the variable
"lifetime" that gets passed to try_krb4 (in kinit.c) if you don't use
the -l command line option. Initalizing this variable to something
reasonable and rebuilding kinit appears to fix the problem.
