Dump rdate. Use ntpdate, or anything for ntp anyway.

Oh no you can't. It was never available to outside of campus. If it
happens to be gone now you'd only ever notice if you were on campus.

All 3 truechimer[123] are going as of right now.

Some email I picked up somewhere:

"Send email to notify" means send "I am using" (so they can inform you
of changes), not "may I use" (which wastes their time on a response).


Of course, as a paradise customer time.paradise.net.nz would be a smart
choice.

Using overseas time servers is silly.
