This is because Kerberos requires relatively tight clock
synchronization within your network. I would suggest you get xntpd
from ftp://ftp.udel.edu/pub/ntp and install it. It will keep your
systems' clocks _very_ tightly synchronized, which will keep Kerberos
happy and is also just a Good Idea anyway.
