Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I have failed to reproduce this on Precise. krb5-admin-server 1.10+dfsg~beta1-2 krb5-kdc 1.10+dfsg~beta1-2 I made sure that DNS worked correctly (by putting the server FQDN in /etc/hosts), symlinked /dev/urandom to /dev/random (as I am running on a VM, it's short of entropy) and ran krb5_newrealm. I added an admin credential using kadmin.local, and then kadmin works without any delay. Can you check that you don't have a DNS issue resolving your admin server slowly, thus causing a clock skew issue? I'm not sure what else to suggest. If you can provide step-by-step instructions to reproduce this on a single fresh VM, this would help. ** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985727 Title: krb5-admin-server falsely claiming clock skew errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krb5/+bug/985727/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
