<title>Introduction to <application>MIT krb5</application></title>
<para>
<application>MIT krb5</application> is a free implementation of Kerberos
5. Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It centralizes the
authentication database and uses kerberized applications to work with
servers or services that support Kerberos allowing single logins and
encrypted communication over internal networks or the Internet.</para>

Some sort of time synchronization facility on your system (like <xref
linkend="ntp"/>) is required since Kerberos won't authenticate if there
is a time difference between a kerberized client and the
<acronym>KDC</acronym> server.</para></note>
