Subj: Re: ntpd using Bellevue, WA and Manalpan NJ for a time base!?
I talked with Josh about this a few weeks back. He was going to look into
fixing the install scripts. Josh, any news on this front? Thanks,

Subj: Re: ntpd using Bellevue, WA and Manalpan NJ for a time base!?
It would also be nice, if odesetup is being fixed anyway, for it not to
assume that routed is the correct router to use. Something like the
following would do...
if (x`/usr/sbin/rcmgr get ROUTED` != xyes && x`/usr/sbin/rcmgr get GATED` != xyes)
then
usr/sbin/rcmgr set ROUTED "yes"
fi
Thanks,
Fran
