This relation identifies the default realm to be used in a client
host's Kerberos activity.
+.IP clockskew
+This relation sets the maximum allowable amount of clockskew in
+seconds that the library will tolerate before assuming that a Kerberos
+message is invalid. The default value is 300 seconds, or five
+minutes.
+
+.IP kdc_timesync
+If the value of this relation is non-zero, the library will compute
+the difference between the system clock and the time returned by the
+KDC and in order to correct for an inaccurate system clock. This
+corrective factor is only used by the Kerberos library.

Each tag in the [realms] section of the file names a Kerberos realm.
