I find that having NTP enabled in most cases for mobile systems is simply unnecessary; there is a large (I would say upwards of 95% in my most unscientific guessings) chance that these users aren't going to be doing anything which requires their clocks to be synced with any amount of precision. And if they are, they should _know_ that and be able to set up a tool (whether it is NTP or Crony) themselves.
I guess you've never had to debug Kerberos before. Luckily, neither have i, so i'm not one to talk. There are a number of apps that are
I have. The users who end up with the most problems are laptop users. I wonder if windows basically does a forced 'get my time right from sources' when it awakes as I rarely had issues with AD/windows boxes on it... but other OS's have that problem. I believe that SSL will also have problems in some use cases if the clocks are too off.. but that might have been Kerb related also.
pretty dependent on the clocks being in sync with each other to a degree. Granted, not everyone is running all those apps, but then it begs the question why Fedora provides so much out of the box in the first place. Let's assume that NTP is probably a good thing to support out of the box on most machines, assuming we can support it right in the first place.
