Although it is always good to hear from jdow her statement is wrong. Tim
Waugh and I spent at least a month trying to debug the fact that on my
network printer browsing did not work. After a lot of agony and
searching log files we found that the problem was the print client was
jumping around in time so the server got confused about the browsing and
just gave up. Also ntpd would quit shortly after it was started. The
problem was fixed by checking UTC in the system-config-date display.
