Really? Why isn't this documented? Is it simply urban legend passed from user to user? I largely agree with Gene. The man pages are incredibly silly. They don't tell you how to do the Most Basic Common Thing. Instead they talk about "type s and r addresses" and "a preemptable association is mobilized" and "mobilizes a persistent symmetric-active mode association" and "type b and m addresses" and other such gibberish. I guess Ill try changing one of my intranet time servers from "server" to "pool" and see what happens.
