in future, please read my email before you reply. The fact that you INSIST that our timestamps being seconds or minutes off MUST be a problem for my company, WHEREAS it is definitively NOT a problem, is perplexing to me.

Now, software is ALREADY written to work around the minor problem of computers being out of time-sync due to 10s of thousands "incompetent" sys admins. yours is a solution looking for a problem. And even more bizarre is that you basically admit that your NTP is broken: it only works properly *if* "configured correctly". Surely good software should auto-configure and work correctly by default????? No instead your solution requires everyone on the planet to "suddenly stop being incompetent". But this is off the topic. > I pity your customers. > Then you must also pity 99.999% of the software users on the planet all of which are not affected by missing NTP configurations. I would pity them if you worked for us. You would spend all your dev time obsessing over time-stamps, while neglecting the important features that help our customers generate revenue out of their subscribers. -paul
