Have you even LOOKED for the answer yourself?

Google...2 seconds later..

Time Synchronization
In order for Kerberos to work properly, your machine and the Kerberos
servers time need to be within 5 minutes of each other. If they are too far
off you may see a message like the following:
kinit: Clock skew too great in KDC reply while getting initial credentials

If this is a problem, you can log into an NCSA UNIX system (such as
modi4.ncsa.uiuc.edu) and run the "date" command to get the time. Use the
"date" command to set the system clock on your Unix system to the same time.
Note: On Unix systems, you need to have root permissions in order to set the
time.
PS this has NOTHING to do with SAMBA.

Please only post to this group if..

a) You have thouroughly RTFM and all associated docs
b) You have Googled until your fingers bled
c) You have tried to solve the problem with a complex layout of monkeys in
tubes.

And you still haven't found your answer.
