Good Day Michael,
That's good to know; many thanks for your input!
The best expiry implementation I had until then was that my
trusty terminal tends to be issued with reboots quite often.
Perhaps 14400 s of lifetime should be sufficient on my side;
seems sound for lunch break.
Maybe I'm missing something, but why the rewiring of the
authentication socket?
Mere convenience?
Kind Regards,
