64.0. "kinit problems" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Wed May 19 1993 17:15

Good morning,

	I tried to get a ticket for my kerboros account this morning (like
I normally do) on our alpha machine, alfee.  But I get the following error:

csh> kinit
MIT Project Athena (alfee.zk3.dec.com)
Kerberos Initialization
Kerberos name: Andy_DAmore
Password:
kinit: Time is out of bounds (krb_rd_req)
csh>

	Any ideas on why that's happening, it never has before.

	Thanks,
	-andy

We use to have a readme for setting up a ode client.
I was just informed that its going to go into something equivalent
to vtx for unix. In the mean time , here is the information which
will help you.


9). Insure that your system time is close to correct.
    One way to check this is to enter:

    /usr/sbin/timedc clock alphabits.aosg.gsf.dec.com

    If the time is off by more than one minute, correct it.
    One way to set the time is to enter:

    /usr/etc/ntp -s -f buffer.zk3.dec.com


    To enable automatic time maintenance, do the following:

    Add the following two lines to the end of /etc/ntp.conf:
    server buffer.zk3.dec.com 

    add the following two lines to the end of /etc/rc.config:
    XNTPD_CONF="YES"
    export XNTPD_CONF

    After your next reboot, the xntpd deamon will be started.
    If you wish to start it without a reboot use:

         xntpd -l

    It is advised that all workstations run either ntp, xntp,
    timed to keep the time on the workstation correct. Kerberos
    will not function properly if the time drifts to much.

Hello,

Thanks for your previous help.

Now I have a problem (or not a problem?) with kinit:

after I type in my passwd it says:

kinit: Time is out of bounds (krb_rd_req)

         
I get the same error when I try to change my passwd with 
>kpasswd -n Masha_Golosovker

after I type in my old passwd, it gives me the same "Time is out of
bounds" error.

 (If I type kpasswd without arguments, it thinks that my PRINCIPAL is masha
 and gives a different error).

What does it mean?

        Thank you for being out there,

               Masha

You need to have your system time in sync with the production
systems.  You can do this by running the Network Time Protocol service.
Run ntpsetup as root on your workstation to set this up.  Or, reset the
time on your system to be within 5 minutes of the time on the production
systems.  ntp will keep you in sync permanently...

Subj: 	Re:  kinit

kinit assumes your username is the entity for which it is requesting a ticket
when you don't supply an argument.

"Time is out of bounds" simply means that the system where you are running
kinit or kpasswd does not have a time syncronized with the kerberos server.
You need to be running ntp or xntp on your workstation to keep the time
in sync.

Masha,

You can figure this out by logging onto a production machine [such
as flume or flambe, and typing "/usr/dec/bin/netinfo <hostname>"
substituting <hostname> with your workstations hostname.   Look
for the field "NTP (ULTRIX time) Servers:" and/or "XNTP (OSF1 time) Servers"

The clock on your machine is out of sync with the the one on the submit
server. If you ran /usr/sde/install/ode setup, it should have installed xntp
on your machine to keep the clock synced.  If you set that up now you
should be OK.

Hi,
	A user here cannot get a ticket because kinit tells him that
the "time is out of bounds". However, other people can kinit
on the same system.

	Can you help?
Thanks,

Rich,

	Your kerberos server's time is too far out of date.  Check your
	/etc/krb.conf file and the first server name found is the problem.

	Who ever manages that system, have the set the time to the correct
	value.  Keberos only allows the time to be a minute or two out of
	sync.

The time on your machine is "out of bounds" with respect to the kerberos 
server. Try running ntpsetup so your clock stays in sync, or at least set it 
by hand.

Moiz, when you stopped by I didn't remember you mentioning the "time

Your system clock must be within 5 minutes of the kerberos server's.

See Grant's mail he sent mentioning ntpsetup

On what machine, yours or a production machine? If yours, this message either 
has to do with the existance/permissions on /var/dss/kerberos/txt (should be 
1777) or it has to do with the actual sending of the request. 

Is this a newly installed system? Did you run /usr/sde/ode/install ode?

Have you run bindsetup?

You can try kinit -debug and see if it returns a clue about the nature of your 
problem.

Try running (as root) /usr/sde/install/ode install

Make sure you are running bind (bindsetup).

See if you can do - nslookup kerberos1
