I can't speak for IBM's SP Kerberos 4, but the MIT version 5 lets you kinit
from a detached keytab file as in:

/usr/local/bin/kinit -k -t /usr/local/var/krb5kdc/cron.keytab cron

I use this from a script and just do a kdestroy when I'm done.

Maybe IBM's krb4 can do this?

kinit -l30d. I would advise against it, though. kinda defeats the core
concept of kerberos.

kerberos 4, AIX 5.1ML3 and PSSP 3.4.

My question is why do I often have to run 'kinit' on the SP nodes to
retrieve a ticket? Is there a way I could make the tickets last longer,
like a month? It seems I have to do this frequently.

# klist
Ticket file: /tmp/tkt0
klist: 2504-076 Kerberos V4 ticket file was not found
