The NTP pool guys have set up our vendor domain. I'd like to commit
the patch below to ntp.conf. It does the following:
1) Uses our vendor domain at the pool.
2) Points people at the pool website and encourages
people to provide a server in the pool (as a
courtesy to the pool guys).
3) Fixes a spelling.
4) Comments out the local clock and includes a link
to documentation for use of the local clock on
the ntp.org site.
If there are no objections, I'll ask re@ for permission to commit
this.
Is 3.freebsd.pool.ntp.org intentionally commented? It does resolve.
Reminder: if you do uncomment it, remember to change the "three
servers" to four.
Otherwise, it looks good to me.
David.
