You've got much more time on your hands than I do.

I didn't say I was going to actually do anything. Maybe I just have
more curiosity than you do.

I am wondering if there's some 'certification' involved and whose solution
would be more certifiable?

I have no doubt that I'm "certifiable" (by the folks in the white lab
coats, with lots of letters after their names).

And, configuration sometimes involves communication. There is something
seriously wrong where you work if it's that big of a deal just to start
using a time service. In effect, doing it by hand is 'configuring'.

Our shop is small, but not so small that I do programming and
administration. I really don't know how to set up firewalls, open
ports, start essential networking services, etc. And I'm just
throwing around buzzwords here; I actually don't even know what it is
I would have to know to set things up.

We have a system and network administrator who does all that stuff,
and he is at least as busy as you are. He is also not interested in
finding out *just how gradual* the automatic, gradual time adjustment
is (which, you'll recall, I said I don't think we even use). I have
no problem communicating with him. When I have an administrative need
that serves the business and not my idle curiosity, he's more than
happy to help out.
