	Service Area:	AARNet
	Access:
			All Affiliated networks to AARNet are permitted to
		access this machine. It is requested that that only 2 / 3
		machines per net reference this (and other statum 1's). If
		you reference this machine you are willing to have your
		machine listed as a Stratum 2 in this document

	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.
