D-Link NTP Abuse

[sraun]

Apologies to anyonw who's already seen this - I don't remember who I'm grabbing it from. :-(

It seems that D-Link has hard-coded a list of Stratum 1 time-servers
into their consumer devices, and they are not admitting any
responsibility for mis-use. There are some very unhappy system
administrators right now, and some talk of a boycott.

That was amazingly stupid of them, given that the (well, a) right way to do it was so obvious that even I was able to figure it out without looking down the page.
