 Proposed patch for RenewTicketIfOld
 
+
+------- Additional Comments From jpease@twcny.rr.com  2004-08-23 12:01 -------
+The first patch resolves a bug resulting in inconsistent expiration
+times for renewed authentication tickets.  Currently in the CVS, the
+expiration time for a renewed ticket varies depending on the distance
+within the timeout interval.  Using the MS Framework, a renewed ticket
+has an expiration time of the current time plus the timeout value
+(expiration - issuedate).
+
+Without the patch, for example, authentication at 11:00.00 with a
+timeout of 2 minutes results in an IssueDate of 11:00.00 and an
+expiration of 11:02.00.  A refresh at 11:01.05 results in a new
+expiration of 11:01.15, just ten seconds later.
+
+With the patch, the same circumstances result in a new expiration time
+of 11:03.05, exactly 2 minutes (the value of timeout) later.
+
+Please look into this.  I have reattached the patch using diff -u as
+requested.
