The subject of time is vastly more complex than anyone ever thinks at |
| 10 |
first look. Time servers are tiered and are themselves both clients and |
| 11 |
servers... |

Chances are good they do a better job than you can, just like with DNS |

just one of those things that unless you have special needs and LOTS of |
