[OpenAFS-devel] Result of badly synchronized system clocks?

[Hans-Werner Paulsen]

Hello AFS Developers!
A fileserver with a bad clock destroys access to other fileservers.
Example:
Fileserver A has volume for file X
Fileserver B has volume for file Y
The clock on B is one hour too late.
The ACLs will give me rl-access to X and Y, if I have a valid token.
Now I do the following:
%fs flushvolume X
%cat X     (works fine, expected)
%cat Y     (Permission denied, expected)
%fs flushvolume Y
%cat X	   (Permission denied, NOT expected)

This is with OpenAFS 1.2.6.
