well it will adjust it at finer granularity than 2 seconds. A problem that I
have constantly on medic is that I have AFS servers (in the net cell) and the
time server for the subnet fighting with eachother over the time on my
machine. I assume this is only relevant to machines in the sipb cell.
I guess one other question I have is what if the time on the servers are
several seconds apart. Will that cause problems with the databases ?
