awscli cannot authenticate #107

I was receiving an authentication error. I then logged into IAM, created new credentials, ran aws configure, and it still did not fix the issue. I was running aws-missing-tools on ubuntu.

It turned out to be an unsynced system time zone thing, I ran a command to sync with an ubuntu time server and then the tool executed perfectly. I think it was failing because I was setting -k 3 so it was pulling the date from the server to calculate 3 days.
