My apologies for that typo; I filed it at kfw-bugs@ (#5988 in RT)
earlier today. To keep the bug report, up to date, I CC'd this to RT
and stripped off the kerberos@ list (to prevent littering). If RT is
more convenient for you, please don't hesitate to tell me.



I'm assuming you mean the dialog window that opens after
right-clicking the identity and selecting "Properties". The dialog box
lists the correct properties for the ticket lifetimes (i.e. the same
lifetimes as obtained from <klist -C>). It's only the main NetIDMgr
window that displays 'Expired' (or an incorrect remaining lifetime);
the 'Properties' dialog box provides correct data.

I included the image I sent with my first message (hence my mailing to
your personal address) to give you a clearer picture.

Typically, the problem arises whenever I (or KfW on its own)
perform(s) a ticket renewal. After refreshing tickets several times
(with renewed tickets issued, as the KDC logs shows), the NetIDMgr
window *sometimes* shows correct lifetimes again, but most often it
doesn't. It will however provide a 'correct' background colour (green,
yellow) for the entry. 'Correct' meaning 'measured against <klist -C>
ticket lifetimes).


Does the above clarify the issue? I am not seeing any adverse effects
in use, only something cosmetic, so it's hardly something of high
priority.


Sincerely,

Rogier Krieger
