You need something to automate the process of obtaining a 
ticket-granting-ticket every so often.

Check out kstart <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/kstart/> for this 
purpose. The user needs to run their job via k5start, and k5start takes on the 
job of obtaining and renewing a TGT while the job is running.

If you can't use kstart, something else will have to keep running 'kinit -k -i' 
every so often. I suggest the '-i' argument because it uses a standard 
well-known keytab location; you only have to drop your keytab at that location 
& make sure the user can read it, and kinit is clever enough to figure out the 
principal name itself. The location is documented in the kerberos(7) man page - 
look for KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME (or just run 'kinit -k -i' and it will spit out the 
location it's looking for in the error message).
