I respect the comments, however i have never seen this happen to me, let me
explain what i use rdate for.
I sync my systems from one particular server here at home, that server uses
an internet provider for getting time, i sync all my systems from one
computer here because i have a lot of mounted partitions via NFS.
I have never experianced any problems with clock screw when compiling any
programs which uses partitions from different computers all at the same
time.
Or experianced any time problems at all.
