I would assume anything that sets the system time. This package was probably intended for packages to depend on when they need time synchronization but don't care how it happens (for instance, AFS and Kerberos servers can get fairly unhappy unless their time is synchronized). However, if it's not being used, probably no point in keeping it around. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
