10.5: Back to My Mac fails to start due to incorrect time
Authored by: ehahn on Apr 27, '09 10:20:24AM
One shouldn't use time-a.nist.gov as the timeserver for their end user machine (desktop or laptop). This is a stratum 1 server, which should only be queried by stratum 2 servers (which act as "local" references).

One should either sync to a stratum 2 server, or sync via the pool system as described in an earlier comment.
