Unable to get max_life to work over 24 hours

[Kreitzer, Ray]

I am running MIT Kerberos v5-1.2.8.   I am attempting to obtain a ticket
with a life of  3 days.  I have set the max_life = 3d in the kdc.conf and
have set the maxlife in the principal to 3d.  I run the kinit -l 3d but it
seems I can never get a ticket for more than 24 hours.  What am I missing?
