Damn, you took your TIME to be faster than me! ;-D

Thats a good suggestion!

To Dean Montevago, you could also review the PARMLIB member CLOCKxx, after you 
decided which devices/systems should be stratum 0, 1 or 2 timer.

For Mark's suggestion, the default is stratum level is 1. Default port is 123 
which could be a problem if you restrict low port values.

Good luck with your research!
