2011-12-23T08:36:44+01:00 christine ods-signerd: [signconf] zone 
tomhendrikx.nl signconf: RESIGN[PT7200S] REFRESH[PT777600S] 
VALIDITY[PT864000S] DENIAL[PT864000S] JITTER[P] OFFSET[P] NSEC[50] 
DNSKEYTTL[PT3600S] SOATTL[PT3600S] MINIMUM[PT3600S] SERIAL[datecounter] 
AUDIT[1]

kasp.xml for this zone is attached, and gives other values for refresh, 
validity and denial. Running 'ods-ksmutil update all' outputs 
'ods-enforcerd: No change to: 
/var/lib/opendnssec/signconf/tomhendrikx.nl.xml', but the signconf xml 
does have the values as listed in the signconf log line above, and not 
the values from kasp.xml
