Quote #711

#711 16:13 08 April 2005 [+] 0 [-] oftc #debian-uk
<Robot101> why is my clock always so so wrong
<fledermaus> because NTP gets bored and wanders off into the distance,  
             muttering to itself about badgers?
<fledermaus> I'm pretty sure that's in the RFC.
<fledermaus> "when confronted with an error, or just if it's been a while, the
             NTP daemon MUST silently give up, but give no indication, either
             explicitly or by omission, that it has done so"
