I managed to make the 'end' value exactly NEVERDATE from the kerberos
server, but the client assumes it is an error:
Kerberos error code returned by get_cred : 1859794432
aklog: Couldn't get storm.ccrc.unsw.edu.au AFS tickets:
aklog: Unknown code asn1 0 (1859794432) while getting AFS tickets

Works as expected with 0xFFFFFFFE and 0, though.  (The ticket is
expired and so there are no tokens.)

Guess 30 days is the limit.

Thanks,
Jayen
