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!
