[cygcheck attachements got through, but message didn't???] I'm running 64-bit Cygwin. The problem described here occured both before and after upgrading from 1.7.28 to 1.7.29. (Cygcheck attached to previous message).
I'm in the UK, where summer time started 10 days ago. My Windows 8.1 laptop correctly gained an hour at that time. Yesterday it gained _another_ hour :-(. When I corrected the time by hand, kinit to my local host failed: > kinit [pwd] kinit: krb5_get_init_creds: PREAUTH_FAILED This usually means timers are out of sync between client (me) and server. So I went to work on what I thought was the underlying problem, the mistaken time. Fixed that, eventually, by fiddling with BIOS clock and its relation to the system clock. But the kinit problem didn't go away. However, _if_ I set the time one hour forward again, kinit succeeds. True weirdness follows. I have 32-bit install as well (for xemacs) (Cygcheck attached to previous message). Problem does _not_ manifest itself there. kinit works _regardless_ of what the windows clock says. Has something changed with system clock vs. hardware clock between 32- and 64-bit cygwin? Or am I looking in the wrong place altogether? ht -- Henry S.
