But it is hard coded in the MIT 1.2.6  get_in_tkt.c: 

   859      if (options && (options->flags & KRB5_GET_INIT_CREDS_OPT_TKT_LIFE))
   860      request.till += options->tkt_life;
   861      else
   862      request.till += 10*60*60; /* this used to be hardcoded in kinit.c */

so it looks like the [libdefaults] is not used.
