Hi,
I read somewhere that the time of the Windows 2000 client is used by
Kerberos (MS implementation of it) to create a ticket. They use this
statement in order to prove that time synchronization is necessary. I can
see the necessity for other reasons, but the Kerberos dependency is new to
me. Can someone explain how this works or where there's info to read up on
this?
Many thanks
Willem Kossen
