yeah; it's pretty dumb. http://www.pool.ntp.org/ gets hundreds of thousands of requests a day from people trying to use the 'Date' header to set their time. (Of course hundreds of thousands is less than what we as a group get via the NTP protocol in the time it took you to read this mail). - ask _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
