It's not clear to me why Randy considered this newsworthy enough to
post to NANOG, nor why he feels the need to "write it up" rather than
just sending his internal customer an excerpt of the man page, where
this behavior is clearly documented (and has been since at least xntp3
circa 1997).  Is it possible he's decided to compete with the guys who
discovered last week that CSMA networks are vulnerable to jabber?

Or, maybe, as he alluded to in his email, he's just trying to get us to
talk about something other than spam ;-)
