NAME

       krb5-auth-dialog - Kerberos 5 credential checking

SYNOPSIS

       krb5-auth-dialog [--auto]

DESCRIPTION

       The  krb5-auth-dialog  application  will periodically check (every 30 seconds) if the user
       has Kerberos credentials, and if so, if they will expire soon (in less than  30  minutes).
       If  it  determines  that  this  is the case, krb5-auth-dialog will attempt to obtain fresh
       credentials, prompting the user for whatever information is necessary.

ARGUMENTS

       --auto If this option is specified, rb5-auth-dialogwill start only if it  finds  that  the
              user  has  Kerberos  credentials.  This  may  be used to ensure that only users who
              actually use Kerberos see the program.  Note  that  in  some  settings,  users  may
              authenticate  to  Kerberos  at  a  later  time  even  if  they do not have Kerberos
              credentials initially.

BUGS

       Probably, but let's hope not.  If you find any, please file them in the  bug  database  at
       http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ against the "krb5-auth-dialog" component.
