AFS seems to do this in a good way, but Kerberos is a constant annoyance to it. I do have machines that generate simulation data and have to work

have to log in once a day and refresh the damn Kerberos token :-(.

Hence, is there a way to disable this Kerberos time out??


Strictly speaking, no. You can however use kstart or Heimdal's kinit to start a process whose tickets and tokens will be renewed as needed until the process finishes. For more complicated processes, you can use a backgrounded shell loop to renew tickets periodically from a keytab.
