 ## Obtaining granting tickets with username and password
 
 As already described above, the most common use case is to obtain Kerberos and AFS granting tickets
 by introducing username and password:
+
 * When login to Merlin through SSH protocol, if this is done with username + password authentication,
 tickets for Kerberos and AFS will be automatically obtained.
 * When login to Merlin through NoMachine, no Kerberos and AFS are granted. Therefore, users need to
 run `kinit` (to obtain a granting Kerberos ticket) followed by `aklog` (to obtain a granting AFS ticket).

 To manually obtain granting tickets, one has to:

 1. To obtain a granting Kerberos ticket, one needs to run `kinit $USER` and enter the PSI password.

+   ```bash

 2. To obtain a granting ticket for AFS, one needs to run `aklog`. No password is necessary, but a valid
 Kerberos ticket is mandatory.
-```bash
-aklog
-```
-3. To list the status of your granted tickets, users can use the `klist` command.
-```bash
-klist
-```
-4. To extend the validity of existing granting tickets, users can use the `krenew` command.
-```bash
-krenew
-```
-   * Keep in mind that the maximum lifetime for granting tickets is 7 days, therefore `krenew` can not be used beyond that limit,

 ## Obtanining granting tickets with keytab

 For generating a **keytab**, one has to:
 
 1. Load a newer Kerberos ( `krb5/1.20` or higher) from Pmodules:
-```bash
-module load krb5/1.20
-```
+
+   ```bash
+   module load krb5/1.20

-```bash

-add_entry -password -k 0 -f -p $USER
