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. But yikes. =( --Jimbo 01:30, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
