Thanks for the quick reply! =)

These users are coming in through SSh and often launching jobs that run in the background. there really isn't room for running reauth and such =/

Plus the hope is to put this on the cluster where jobs sit queued for ages before running. The user would have no ability to authenticate later.

Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Quoting Brady Catherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I am currently considering moving our environment to OpenAFS but before I can switch I need to make sure a few things are going to keep working..

We have users that use or systems for months on end without logging off and I am concerned that the kerberos ticket they are being issued will expire. Having them log back into kerberos/ openafs isn't really a good option for us (I am having a hard enough time selling even the basic conversion, let alone anything that requires user action!)

Is there an easy way around this with OpenAFS? I have tried setting the length of our kerberos tickets higher but the most it will give me is 7 days. Is there another way to do this?
