[WBEL-users] bug: wb-final redhat

[donavan nelson]

Actually, this is an even better list, stratum 2 servers,
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html

I have to admit, it's been years since I read access policy for NTP servers. 
Plus, the firewall I use comes with a BUNCH of stratum 1 servers.

In the interest of WBEL, I noticed there are several "open access -- any
location" servers listed in the URL above.

** puts use stratum 2 NTP servers on the growing todo list.

Thanks for the info David,
