Not really. For MS Access, this may be true, but its from the
perspective
of the MS Access database, not RadiusNT (IE, RadiusNT ask MS Access to
set the date based on whatever time MS Access thinks it is).
For SQL Server, RadiusNT AlWAYS uses the GetDate() function to set
the timestamp. RadiusNT never uses the clock of the local computer
for time functions.

Thats fine.

What type of DB are you using? For SQL Server, use the DateDiff()
functions built into it to do the time calculations, and then you
don't have to worry about the local clock.

Emerald uses the SQL functions for most things. The next release
will use the DB clock for everything (alleviating the local clock
problem all together).
