Clock Synchronization

All servers and clients being configured should have clocks that are at least loosely synchronized. Using the SYNCH_CLOCKS environment variable described in Customizing the dce_config Processing, you can specify that the clocks will be synchronized automatically or that the user should be prompted to synchronize the clocks if they are out of synch by a specified amount. For DFS configurations, the clocks should be synchronized automatically.

While it is not required, it is recommended that you configure the Security master server machine with a DTS server. This will allow Security clients to synchronize clocks with the Security server machine.
