.TH krb5-auth-dialog 1 2005/11/02 "GNOME" "System Administrator's Manual" .SH NAME krb5-auth-dialog \- Kerberos 5 credential checking .SH SYNOPSIS .B krb5-auth-dialog [--auto] .SH DESCRIPTION The \fBkrb5-auth-dialog\fR 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, \fBkrb5-auth-dialog\fR will attempt to obtain fresh credentials, prompting the user for whatever information is necessary. .SH ARGUMENTS .TP \fB--auto\fR If this option is specified, \fBkrb5-auth-dialog\fR will 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. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR krb5.conf (5) .SH BUGS Probably, but let's hope not.
