Description
I forgot to throw a + in front of the time when signing a key and it caused the ssh-keygen command to fail with this output:
Invalid certificate life specification 4h
Unfortunately you don't see that from ssh-ca - instead you get a mostly unhelpful exception:
```
Invalid certificate life specification 4h
