A side comment, which may amount to a request:
I recall old behavior in MIT Kerberos on Unix that if a needed service
ticket was expired, the client would error out even if the TGT was
still valid. This could happen if the maxlife for a service's
principal were short. Since setting a shorter maxlife for some services
(or even all services) could be useful, I'm hoping this behavior either
has been or will be modified.
