[WinPartners] Kerberos tickets never expire (?)

I found that when you initialize tickets via the Leash32 interface, there's options for Ticket Lifetime (maximum of 1 day) but there's options for getting tickets that renew (with a maximum of 30 days!).  Maybe that renewal is happening automatically?

I had not enabled that option but left my ticket lifetime at the default 10 hours.

For example, when I come back from the weekend my tickets are still valid and when I open Eudora my email just downloads! It happens every morning. Should I be surprised by this..? I don't remember reading anything in the release notes as to this change in behavior, and I'm concerned for obvious reasons. I haven't looked at its settings because I wanted to run this by you first.
