Very Computer

I have a network composed of Sun Sparcs running solaris 2.4 and some P5s
running BSDI 2.0 and 2.1. When I try a kinit -i from some certain sparcs,
I get a "kinit: Time is out of bounds (krb_rd_req)" error while on some it
works fine and on one perticular Sparc 5, it works some times, others it
doesn't. Does anyone have a clue as to what would cause this?

the kerberos server is a P5 running bsdi 2.1 and Kerberos IV

Make your clients run netdate against the kerberos server.  This is arguably
not as Entirely Safe as running xntpd, but xntpd is also unnecessary in
most cases.

Kerberos is a time sensitive thing...it barfs, say, if you haven't switched
your computer over to the current time thing (Daylight Savings, is it?).
