I'd love to know as well. Been Googling like crazy for this, and no
results yet! Of note that sometimes, when I go "rdate time.nist.gov" I
get the actual time, then when I want to sync "rdate -s time.nist.gov"
then it returns "Alarm clock". Same for time-a.nist.gov,
time-b.nist.gov, as well as time.nrc.ca. Argh =)
