Fellow time-nuts,

inserted by this message in the /var/log/syslog:

What NTP is this?
There is security patches to be made to older NTPs.
I had to shut down xntpd on several solaris machines to make them safe,
as there was no way of configure them to become safe. That was a couple
of years ago.

Ehm. While off-topic, let me tell you that we had to shut down the last
Solaris machine we had on the computer club because we concluded that
there where tools designed to target that generation of Solaris machines
and take them over. It should not see public internet if powered on.
The network is increasingly hostile, so patch your machines, and don't
let any machines sit on public network unless you can patch them
regularly and also do that.
Cheers,
Magnus
