One question, as I'm a timid user of other folks' resources. It mentions
in the NTP FAQ that one should notify the timeserver owners that you're
planning on using them as an ntp user.
How much traffic does ntp generate? If I ran a network, I'd feel OK
hooking up this way, but as just some schmo with (effectively) a singles
system, I don't want to waste their resources.
