UDP, It's Easy as 123

Another benefit to upgrading my router this weekend is that I've centralized my time synchronization efforts. Now every computer I control will sync its clock to the router, and the router will keep time thanks to OpenNTPD. This results in a much cleaner-looking setup than what I used to have, even if the old method was still completely serviceable.

Previously, I would sync my Windows machines against CWRU's time servers twice a day and the router would get a single manual adjustment every month or so as needed.

There remains one system on my subnet that doesn't run any time synchronization software whatsoever, but since its owner is kind enough to cook me dinner, I think I'll let it slide for a little while longer.
