Package: krb5-admin-server
Version: 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze5

I'm trying to figure out why the Debian Edu users seem to expire after
a few days, and in the process I ran into this incomprehensive output
from kadmin.local:

kadmin.local:  get_policy users
Policy: users
Maximum password life: 172800
Minimum password life: 0
Minimum password length: 5
Minimum number of password character classes: 1
Number of old keys kept: 1
Reference count: 3
Maximum password failures before lockout: 0
Password failure count reset interval: 0
Password lockout duration: 0
kadmin.local: 

The manual page claim the value is 'time, and the example in the
manual page do not look anything like the value I got:

  kadmin: get_policy admin
  Policy: admin
  Maximum password life: 180 days 00:00:00
  Minimum password life: 00:00:00
  Minimum password length: 6
  Minimum number of password character classes: 2
  Number of old keys kept: 5
  Reference count: 17
  kadmin: get_policy -terse admin
  admin     15552000  0    6    2    5    17
  kadmin:

What exactly does 172800 mean?  Is it seconds, hours, days, clicks or
something completely different?

Please update the documentation to make this more clear.
