Are you saying RTFM?

I've read the O'Reilly book on Kerberos several times, and I'm
well-versed in Kerberos administration. I know how to adjust ticket TTLs.

Perry suggests stashing the private key on the server and then
refreshing the ticket automatically.

How do you refresh the ticket automatically for a user while a job is
waiting to run? That would have to be done by the queuing system, so the
queuing system would have to be GSSAPI-aware. Someone already pointed
out that Torque is NOT GSSAPI-aware so that leaves SGE and commercial
applications.
