  Answering my own question... big fat NO.

[i660][root][~] openrdate -s -n ca.pool.ntp.org (works fine)

[i660][root][~] openrdate -s ca.pool.ntp.org (hangs and sits there)

[i660][root][~] rdate -s ca.pool.ntp.org
rdate: couldn't connect to host ca.pool.ntp.org: Connection refused

  Apparently "openrdate -n" selects RFC2030 protocol.  Otherwise, it
defaults to RFC868.  That appears to be rdate's only protocol.  So are
there any public RFC868 servers?  Or are there any RFC2030 client
programs other than openrdate?  What do people here use?
