That is the very first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to make this actual publish extraordinary. Fantastic process!

A year ago I switched to DJB\'s clockspeed. Old, with very little documentation, it needs minimal configuration, doesn\'t bind any ports, has a very small footprint but keeps time with superb accuracy. </p> For years I used NTP but was never happy with it\’s complicate setup procedures.

I install Debian, and do not configure sudo. I am still not comfortable with using it, and still question it\'s security! I prefer su when I need to run as root. </p> Please don\’t assume that sudo is configured for the user. I install Debian, and do not configure sudo.

Its truly useful to keep all network systems with matching time (I am not sure of precise time, as network itself can introduce some time slippage) </p> We had fixed timing issue in the SCTP stack using NTP in one of the GSM systems.
