Never mind, just an example: Bring a server that is configured on
network a.b.c.d/xx to your own network on p.q.r.s/yy and you'll see
what will happen. You'll have to wait until ntp times out before you
are prompted for login.

Anyway, I think we use different solutions for the same problem and
that's fine. Let's get on with vdev instead of creating a huge thread
here :) We're all doing our own right things and we're all doing our own
stupidities :)

Otherwise a site like the Kernel Fuck-o-Meter:

would not exist :)
