% Another suggestion. Configure the Network Time Protocol on your
% computers. That way they'll all always keep the same, correct
% time. This is a Big Win: every log file has accurate time stamps,
% clocks don't drift, authentication schemes like Kerberos work
% reliably, etc, etc. Once NTP is set up, it just runs without any
% system administrator intervention. Most UNIX systems are shipped with
% xntpd these days. If your vendor doesn't, complain! You can also pick
% up the source code from any good archive site.

NTPv4 is prefered. Previous versions have known weaknesses and a broken
clock is not always intuitive when debugging DNS failures... see the
above thread for empirical example... :)
