Re: Any good time servers around?
Amos I remeber your contribution - I just don't think that gives Ira or
the whole list for that matter the right to abuse NTP servers
I'm sure it's OK for you to use the server which driver you're wrote - I
Just think other ppl should at least ask for Simon's permission
to do so ...
for anyone who want's to use a timeserver form the OpenU - be kind enough
to use 147.233.128.12{7,6} if you must use an IP address
I would hate to have to put an ACL on tavor for NTP
