NAME
kredentials - KDE system tray applet to monitor and update authentication tokens
DESCRIPTION
Kredentials monitors the state of the user's Kerberos and AFS authentication tokens. It renews Kerberos tickets every hour up to the maxi-
mum renewable lifetime of the tickets and informs the user when the renewable lifetime is reached. Each time Kerberos tickets are
obtained, aklog(1) is run to obtain new AFS tokens.
OPTIONS
-i|--inform
Inform the user via a KDE "passive dialog" each time tickets are renewed.
-d|--disable-aklog
Don't run aklog to get new AFS tokens when renewing Kerberos creds.
BUGS
There aren't really any major bugs, but the feature list can and should be expanded. The command line options should be migrated to GUI-
configurable settings. The ticket renewal interval should be user-configurable.
