Hi All,

Noticed today that our office firewall was not setup to synch its time to our 
NTP server, and was off by about 7 minutes.  When we setup xntpd a number of 
our VPNs crashed.  Assumed this was due to SAs expiring or something, and they 
came back to life on their own a while later.

Since then I did a quick inventory on the remote firewalls and one that has not 
been touched in almost two years is actually off by 1.5 hours!  I am now very 
afraid to touch its clock, let alone setup time synch on it.  Has anyone any 
experience resetting clocks on VPN boxes?  Some advice, please :)

Thanks,
