[cisco-voip] CME 3.3 and 79xx phones with clock drift

"I once had a server with a bad time clock; the time would be all over
the place, we had to quickly replace it as Kerberos was freaking out
causing people to be unable to login to the domain as our Domain
Controllers pointed to it."

I bet that was exciting!

Wes Sisk recommended xntp on the CCMs to me--- I've configured that now,
and on Unity, and the time problems appear to have gone away..

all I did was put the time server from my ISP in there

c:\winnt\ntp.conf
now looks like this: (instead of being defaults the way my vendor left
it)

server ntp.bellsouth.net		# Set Local Clock to Authoritive
Time Source
fudge ntp.bellsouth.net stratum 5	# Resets Stratum from default 3
to 5
driftfile %windir%\ntp.drift	# path for drift file

So far, BellCrap hasn't noticed that I'm asking for time--- and they
seem to be responding.
