Yikes - thanks for the link to the Netgear and DLink SNTPd issues! Thankfully I'm enough of a time geek that I've always manually spec'ed the NTP server to a very nearby one (that I am within rights to use as frequently as the DLink products go out for info) on the DLink routers I've bought, so I haven't contributed to the Stratum 1 abuse problem directly.
