I'd extend that to apply to any server.  Practically all the things a
server does are dependent in some way on the correct time.

This is also increasingly true of desktops.  Gone are the days when you
could just set the clock forward or back temporarily for some specific
purpose.  Today if you do that on a lot of desktops, you'll mess things
up terribly (imagine having every birthday for the next five years
trigger simultaneously when you open Outlook, or having half your file
system marked for immediate deletion--not a pretty picture).
