7.SH NAME
8grenew - get kerberos tickets, tokens, mappings, and zephyr authentication
9.SH SYNOPSIS
10grenew [ user ]
11.SH DESCRIPTION
12\fIgrenew\fR is a graphical interface duplicating the
13functionality of the \fIrenew\fR program. It first prompts the user
14for his or her password, and, using that password, attempts to
15get the user a new kerberos ticket-granting ticket.  The new
16ticket will automatically expire 10 hours later.
17
18If \fIgrenew\fR was able to obtain these tickets, it uses them,
19and \fIfsid\fR, to reauthenticate the user to any file
20servers from which he or she has file systems attached. This
21re-authentication, like the new kerberos tickets, automatically
22expires after 10 hours.
23
24\fIgrenew\fR then attempts to re-authenticate the user to the
25zephyr servers by using \fIzctl\fR. This is necessary to
26authenticate zephyrgrams.
