[Freeipa-users] ca-error: Error setting up ccache for local "host" service using default keytab: Clock skew too great.

klist is actually empty; kinit admin fails.  Sounds like then getcert
resubmit has a dependency on kerberoes.  I can get a backup image that has
a valid ticket but it is only good for 1 day (and dated pasted the cert
expire).

Also I had asked awhile back about whether there is dependency on DIRSRV to
renew the cert; didn't get any response but I suspect there is a dependency.

Regarding the clock skew, I found out from /var/log/message that shows me
this so it may be from named:

Jan 28 14:10:42 test named[2911]: Failed to init credentials (Clock skew
too great)
Jan 28 14:10:42 test named[2911]: loading configuration: failure
Jan 28 14:10:42 test named[2911]: exiting (due to fatal error)
Jan 28 14:10:44 test ns-slapd: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.
Minor code may provide more information (Creden
tials cache file '/tmp/krb5cc_496' not found)

I don't have a krb5cc_496 file (since klist is empty), so sounds to me I
need to get a kerberoes ticket before going any further.  Also is the file
/etc/krb5.keytab access/modification time important?  I had changed time
back to before the cert expiration date and reboot and try renew but the
error message about clock skew is still there.  That seems strange.

Lastly, as a absolute last resort, can I regenerate a new cert myself?
