When I set up a gateway/firewall on Fedora I always set up and configure NTP properly. Since I have six or seven of these boxen and one public web server, each NTP service is configured to use one other firewall box, the public webserver, and a stratum 2 server as time sources. That way I generate lower load on everyone else. I'll also offer up all my servers to the pool.ntp.org project, as well. I think it's a great idea, quintessentially representative of the Linux community, and one which many of us should support. See www.pool.ntp.org for more information. -- Rodolfo J.
