I got a message from Sun today saying I should get their tool to make sure
my machines are all having their times managed properly.

I find this a loosing proposition. It is nearly impossible to get machines
to agree on what time it is.

I like to use the database to dictate the time a transaction happens. It is
a controlled environment and much easier to keep in sync. I set it to
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and then never change it. I translate that
timestamp to whatever time I need at the application level.

How does everyone else handle time?
