35.2.5 Minimum UNIX ID Property
The minimum UNIX ID property is the starting point for UNIX IDs that are

35.2.6 Maximum UNIX ID Property

maximum applies to both the system-generated and user-entered UNIX IDs.

35.2.7 Minimum Ticket Lifetime Property
The minimum ticket lifetime is the minimum amount of time in minutes before the

intervention on the part of the user. The shorter you make the minimum ticket lifetime,
the greater the security of the system. However, extremely frequent renewal can
degrade system performance. The minimum ticket lifetime that you set needs to take
into consideration system performance and the level of security that your cell requires.
You set the minimum ticket lifetime with the dcecp mintktlife attribute in the following
form:
mintktlife integer
