Ticket Applet, the next generation (under new management)

Description

ticket_applet is an applet for the GNOME panel which display how much time you have left on your kerberos tickets. It also allows you to renew the tickets; you click on the applet, and it will pop up a password dialog. It now has support for renewing your afs tokens and can run arbitrary commands that you specify after ticket renewal. For instance, I have it run the command "zctl load" after I renew my kerberos tickets so that I will be reauthenticated for zephyr.

Here is screenshot. Pretty, isn't it?

The configuration process could still use a little work. I'm not sure how well it would work if you did not have a setup similar to mine, but it shouldn't cause too many problems.

Requirements:

• Kerberos 5 (1.2.x for the RPM)
• GNOME
• arla and krbafs (for the RPM; you should be able to rebuild from source without support for these)
