Re: [PLUG] debian and ntpd / ntpdate

It's not a Bad Move.  Unless you depend on NFS filesystems for compilation,
etc. or you are using hostbased authentication in OpenSSH or your timing
crystal is really off or... you are anal retentive.

You might want to check out the default settings provided with Redhat.  They
also don't turn on ntp by *default*, but they have a reasonable template
which can easily be edited, and you just chkconfig ntpd on for future
boot-time startup, and service ntpd start to start it up the very first time.
