Description

  • I forget to run kinit or aklog -d and try to do something on AFS and it fails
  • Or tokens expire and I start getting permission errors, leaving me scratching my head

It might be neat if we:

  1. Show kerberos token status reminders for interactive logins
  2. Additionally (or in place of 1) we could show token status in PS1 by default

Research direction

Start with the interactive-login configuration and PS1 setup in the shared dotfiles, including ~/.bashrc if present. Determine whether the intended behavior is a login reminder, prompt status, or both; done means the chosen token-status feedback appears reliably when tokens are missing or expired.
