<p>Well, thanks for responding -</p>
<p>Upon further testing I noticed 2 other things:</p>
<p>A) the tickets actually do extend on if you kinit after login - </p>
<p>B) for some reason, if you do df -h . immediately after login it would show the NFS mounted home directory as - in other words, it was as if thinlinc is not aware that the homedir is mounted on NFS and does not request a service ticket from the NFS mountpoint. However, other service tickets are generated on request (host tickets for logins, HTTP tickets for sites using mod-auth-ken in apache) and listed...just not the NFS mount. <br>

I don't think this is thinlinc-specific unless you mean that thinlinc<br>
should auto renew/refresh. I've seen several sites that teach users to<br>
do their own renew/refresh, although this assumes some sophistication on<br>
the user side.<br>
<br>
There are tools that can help. Winbind (when calling MS-Windows KDC)<br>
can be configured to automate. This needs extra help if users expect<br>
jobs to run after logout. We are not using kstart, but it is part of<br>
Debian and is designed to help automate.<br>
<br>
We run a daemon that does renew/refresh for users. If you require only<br>
renew, then things are easy.<br>
