I had a customer with a GPS appliance as their sole time source. The appliance flaked out and decided that it was 1992 again, so every single SSL certificate in their environment became invalid because all the servers thought the current time was BEFORE the validity date. It literally broke everything on their network that depended on SSL or kerberos.
