In 2038, an 31-bit time_t, counting in seconds from Jan 1, 1970,
will overflow.
As somebody else observed, this is not your problem, though:
Kerberos will stop working of the time difference between the
client machine and the KDC is "too large", where "too large"
is in the range of several seconds (rather than years).
So if a machine sets the date to 2008, kerberos will also fail.
