Re: [TCLUG:10607] xntpd errors?

Bob,

If you ask real nice they might allow you to sync with them, especially
if you let them know you provide time to many other hosts. Otherwise you
might get a radio clock (of which I know nothing, _nothing_). 

I just hope you were not being mean and pummeling them with many
clients. A person at my work was doing that for his 40 (!) boxes and
then got mad when our firewall guys cut him off. It didn't seem to
matter to him when we told him he was being bad, he just groused about
having to touch all of his boxes (to point to our inner time server
(which syncs to the U)). What do you do?
