krb5-auth-dialog(1)

NAME
krb5-auth-dialog - Kerberos 5 credential checking

SYNOPSIS
krb5-auth-dialog [--auto]

DESCRIPTION
The krb5-auth-dialog application will periodically check (every @check_interval@ seconds) if the user has Kerberos credentials, and if so, if they will expire soon (in less than @minimum_lifetime@ 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, krb5-auth-dialog 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.

Probably, but let's hope not. If you find any, please file them in the bug database at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/krb5-auth-dialog/-/issues
