(well, this list seems dead.) http://engineering.bergcloud.com/2014/08/problem-with-ntp/ has a nice practical example of how security starts to break without synchronised clocks. Insist on the need for security, and you will insist on the need for synchronised clocks. Which is, I think, where DTN came in. (The problem's a litte contrived, in that you should be getting time from someone you trust - private tunnel - or someone your ISP views as authoritative, which is its timeserver. Timeserving across the internet is often messier than the hierarchy one might expect. But still, nice example.) Lloyd Wood http://sat-net.com/L.Wood/dtn
