[c-nsp] NTP Servers

[Josh Baird]

It seems like a waste to spend money on "NTP appliances," when you can
build an "enterprise quality" system using Linux (for free) in a matter of
minutes.  We run three, and they have supported over 10k devices with zero
problems for over 5 years.  It's not like ntpd is very resource intensive.
