	Sorry, it's not just a matter of what is provided in the Debian 
packages.  It's also a matter that they feel that good timesync is 
not important for us, and therefore they don't want to run ntpd.

	All arguments from Thomas Akin's book "Hardening Cisco Routers" 
(see <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hardcisco/chapter/ch10.html>), 
or <http://www.net.berkeley.edu/time/>, 
<http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/InfoTech/Support/data/time.htm>, 
<http://www.spirit.com/Network/net0701.html>, or even the Linux 
Administrators Guide at <http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/ntp.html>, 
were not enough to convince them that good time sync is important.
