[Skimmertalk] [RBN-OPS] Attention RBN Skimmer Ops

[David Robbins]

Yeah, that could be a real problem.  if the aggregator isn't run with high
enough privilege it won't be able to change the clock.  How often does it do
that??  And how does it recover from failures?

Hi Pete, thanks for the heads up. That will not happen here as I already
lock all of the network to an ntp pool and certainly don't want to downgrade
the setup.
