Accurate time

by david.cullison . Updated 20 years, 7 months ago

We’ve recently installed a new firewall on our network and configured it to sync time with two different internet NTP sources. The firewall’s clock drifts up to one second when pulling time every 30 minutes. The vendor says this drift is normal, but that doesn’t sound right to me. How accurate does the law say time has to be if we ever tried to prosecute a hacker?
