Title: Clock accuracy checker (via ICMP timestamp)

Summary: NOSUMMARY

Description: Description:
The system time could be determine via the ICMP
timestamp protocol. The timestamp returned indicates a clock
error. You should ensure that your system clock is regularly
synchronized so that your event logs have accurate time
stamps. Without accurate timestamps, it becomes very difficult
to investigate problems such as attacks that must be
coordinated with other systems and other administrators.

Solution : Employ an automated time synchronization
utility using ntp.

Risk factor : Low
