It occurs to me that the current clock skew correction code (when
things are set up so it works) only works on the client side; your
application server still needs to have a correct clock.  So that would
probably mean the "server" in U2U would need to have a correct clock
(the "server" in this case is the guy who does NOT talk to the KDC).
