		machines per net reference this (and other statum 1's). If
		you reference this machine you are willing to have your

	It is requested that if you connect your net to these machines
	that you make available one of your machines as a ntp server and
	inform clockmaster@syd.dms.csiro.au so that you can be added to
	CLOCKS.TXT.

	What are ntp servers?
	=====================

	A NTP server is a machine configured to provide accurate time
	stamps. This is done by talking to a number of other higher
	level servers and computing the drift and offset of the local
	hardware clock and correcting. This computation filters out
	obviously badd clocks.

	Stratum 1 servers are connected directly to a reliable source of
	UTC time. This could be a GPS reciever an ATOMIC clock or one of
	a number of radio clocks around the world providing broadcast
	time.

	Nifty.dap.CSIRO.AU is a SGI wired to a cesium clock.
