[Patch] customizable timeouts for kernel cache of kerberos credentials

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Default expiration time of kerberos tickets is their expiration thus
kdestroy has no effect here. 

This patch adds -t timeout cmd option to rpc.gssd so that client may specify 
timeout for expritation of kerberos tickets in kernel. After this timeout the
rpc.gssd is consulted to pick up a proper kerberos ticked.

By default, timeout is 0 (i.e., no timeout at all) which follows the
previous behavior.
