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

[David Robbins]

p.s. most reasonably recent windows computers are already set to do a sync
to time.windows.com, though you can change it to other sources.  I would
hate to have a competing time setter running just in case there was a
problem.  a better solution would be to have the aggregator send it's time
to the rbn and then get feedback on it's clock error or network transit time
problems similar to the frequency error feedback we get now.  that way the
operator could adjust their clock or investigate slow network problems if
needed.

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.
