That says, inter alia :
If your Internet provider has a timeserver, or if you know of a
good timeserver near you, you should use that and not this list - you'll
probably get better time and you'll use fewer network resources
-- which is exactly what I'm trying to do.
Btw, ntpq -pn does have an asterisk; and whois resolves that IP
and three more as belonging to Virginia Tech, which is two or three miles
away.
My thanks for both replies!
