FYI beacon clients sending to the AG server
http://beaconserver.accessgrid.org:9999/delay.html
should be getting correct time e.g. with NTP in order to display correct
delay stats.
Several beacons are running open misconfigured ntp (I can do an ntptrace
to them but they do not correctly trace back to a stratum 1 server) and
others are either more "secure" (e.g. RedHat 9 defaults) or aren't running
it at all.
Xntpd on Linux won't work out of the box; it needs timeservers configured
or the multicast client enabled.
