From 784ae7196052fc5fe9e25ef490fd7518d0223d38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dwmalone Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 05:51:33 +0000 Subject: 1) Use our vendor domain at the pool. 2) Point people at the pool website and encourage people to provide a server in the pool (as a courtesy to the pool guys). 3) Fix a spelling. 4) Comment out the local clock and include a link to documentation for use of the local clock on the ntp.org site.
