Another reason I like my powerbook.
With the latest Microsoft exploit I sat down to watch the Death Of The Net. I dug out my trusty copy of tcpdump and took a look at the traffic I was seeing. Unfortunately someone upstream was already blocking port 1434 so I did not get to see all the people who thought patching the hole in their MS SQL server just was not that important (the patch has been out since July last year). What I did see was my Mac going out to Apple's NTP server:
17:57:58.002902 core.xorch.net.ntp > media.euro.apple.com.ntp: v4 client strat 3 poll 12 prec -17 [tos 0x10] 17:57:58.213866 media.euro.apple.com.ntp > core.xorch.net.ntp: v4 server strat 2 poll 12 prec -17 [tos 0x10]
It is surprising to me that more computers don't come with ntp already configured. It's nice not to have to worry about it.
