Hi, in environments with Kerberos and especially NFS with Kerberos, it is important to keep the Kerberos credentials valid by renewing them at the proper time. Doubly so with screen or tmux sessions since they typically run for a longer time.
There is the tool krenew which does this automatically. What it does is it clones the credentials cache, updates the appropriate environment variable, then starts the program and *while the program is running*, renews the credentials at the proper time. If the program exits, krenew exits as well, deleting the cloned credentials cache. It is possible to use screen together with krenew, by starting a screen session like this: krenew -b -- screen -D -m This starts a detached screen session but does not fork, so that krenew works properly. I haven't found a way to achieve this behavior with tmux. Is it currently possible? If so, how? If not, do you think it would be worthwhile to add an option to make it possible? Or do you have any other suggestions how to deal with this issue? Thanks in advance!
