Practically all the things a server does are dependent in some way on the correct time. This is also increasingly true of desktops. Gone are the days when you could just set the clock forward or back temporarily for some specific purpose. Today if you do that on a lot of desktops, you'll mess things up terribly (imagine having every birthday for the next five years trigger simultaneously when you open Outlook, or having half your file system marked for immediate deletion--not a pretty picture). -- Anthony
