Kerberos/NTP, Global deployment

[Lawrence MacIntyre]

Bacolod:

>From RFC 1510:

KerberosTime ::=   GeneralizedTime
                              -- Specifying UTC time zone (Z)

   The timestamps used in Kerberos are encoded as GeneralizedTimes.  An
   encoding shall specify the UTC time zone (Z) and shall not include
   any fractional portions of the seconds.  It further shall not include
   any separators.  Example: The only valid format for UTC time 6
   minutes, 27 seconds after 9 pm on 6 November 1985 is 19851106210627Z.

(In other words, kerberos will be fine working across time zones)
