The following output is generated when trying to obtain tickets from the Kerberos realm: # kinit [email protected] Password for [email protected] kinit(v5): Clock skew too great while getting…

Running `ntpdate domaincontroller` will synchronize the client's system clock with the Kerberos domain controller, and `hwclock -systohc` will save the synchronized system time to the hardware clock, resolving the clock skew.

`kinit -t` is used to specify a ticket cache, which does not address clock skew errors.

`killall -HUP krb5kdc` would restart the KDC process, but it does not fix underlying clock synchronization problems causing the error.

`kdc.conf` is for KDC server configuration and does not contain a `time_sync` parameter relevant to client-side clock skew errors.

The `clockskew` parameter in the `krb5.conf` file defines the maximum allowed time difference (in seconds) between the client and the KDC; increasing this value can mitigate issues where exact synchronization is difficult to maintain.
