cTime and KrbError

[Luke Hebert]

Hi,

So I've been searching around trying to understand cTime. While dealing
with a ticket renewal issue. I know that this is supposed to be the
client's current time. The question is what conditions cause cTime to print
out in Java debug as being from 1981. This isn't the start of epoch.

My assumption looking at the RFC for KRBError would suggest to me that
something went wrong and the authenticator could not decode the request and
the fields are omitted in the Error response. Thus resulting in a default
value being printed for what would be a time based field.







*>>> KDCRep: init() encoding tag is 126 req type is 13>>>KRBError:
