I used to use tick and tock in the navy for public time service. It
was great:

The Apple NTP has also been very reliable.
At the office NTP is blocked and we can access neither external
resource referenced. In the absence, the Mac OS X server services
include NTP but with no real source of authority. Not like we have an
atomic clock and serve as the world standard for time measurements
like other Govt orgs ;-)
The good news is that because MacBooks travel, they hit the clear
Internet often enough to stay on time with Navy resources. The
desktops, not so much.

What do Federal folks use for time service? Do you keep the time.apple.com
default, or do you use your own servers? Are your NTP servers
public facing or internal only?
I'm well set on internal servers, but hate to leave my roaming users
without reliable time service. We have split DNS, so with a couple
of extra external servers I trusted I'd be in good shape. Does
anyone use time from another Agency? Anyone with time to share?
