NTP servers are always (give or take version and permission 
considerations) acceptable to SNTP clients.

An SNTP server behaves the same as a stratum 1, NTP server, supporting 
only client/server and broadcast modes.  It must only be used where an 
NTP server would be stratum 1 (i.e. early (pre-Windows 2003) versions of 
w32time cannot legally act as servers).

Earlier version of the SNTP spec permitted more association modes. 
Earlier versions didn't allowed impending leap seconds to be signalled.
