The problem is that if all clients coast by themselves and if one is using
NFS or Kerberos or wants to match log entries or ... then there can be
Problems.

If this is not an issue at a site, then it's probably not needed.

I frequently run NFS so I want all my machines to agree on time if, for
example, I lose internet connectivity (which at one site, used to happen
fairly often).
