      Although it's no longer as critical for replication lag (maxStaleness calculations etc) when hosts' clocks are out of sync there can still be problems with external auth particularly with Kerberos with fixed windows.

      Let's add a startup warning when neither ntpd nor chrony are detected, but only when some external auth mechanism like GSSAPI or PLAIN are enabled.
