Is this about keeping nagios componentns in sync? Because I think any
effort you need to take to keep them into sync is worth it.

If it is about the hosts you are checking it depends on the hosts. Most
linux machines have a way of telling if they use ntp and are in sync. The
ntpq manual page will tell you all about it.

As I know little about windows I can't help you there.
