The default configuration should be a set of machines with synchrionized clocks without any outside communication. The network should have one clock server and several clock clients. We discovered a few years ago that it is important that tht clock server do not try to communicate outside the local network, as this would keep ISDN lines up and force the schools to pay horrible costs for the phone lines. It should be easy to configure the clock server to fetch correct time from outside the local network, but it should not be the default. The point is that all the machines on the local network should have the _same_ time to easy file system use and log processing, and that a _correct_ clock should be optional.
