The problem is only whether the "base" time of server is actually correct :-) At least twice, when servers had hardware problems starting, I've seen them give the wrong time by hours, not just minutes or seconds...but these problems are quite rare.

Then you set the workstation-time from any server at login, and everything is pretty well in sync this way.
When my users' computers were off by hours, it was due to a wrong configuration in the timezone.
