Hello,

sorry if this is the wrong place for this question,
but has anybody seen any Y2k problems with kerberos (eBones) ?

Yesterday I tried to create a new kerberos database.
All went smoothly the way it`s documented in the handbook.
Except for one thing:

$ kinit sven
eBones International (algieba.leonis.supercluster.net)
Kerberos Initialization for "sven"
Password: 
kinit: Principal expired (kerberos)

The database was created setting all expiry dates to 2001-01-01
instead of the default 2000-01-01.
Once the system clock is switched back to 1999 kinit is able 
to obtain a valid ticket.

Any comments?

Sven
