StacyWhen voting on the time, another piece of information which almost everyone has at their disposal is the reference date of certain files which must be accessed when the system is run. This can be used as an error check against the propogation of bad times (which has happenned occasionally on our local network). Network (or other) times preceeding the file date are probably bogus.
