From af0673c2045b22a3029e24a453b831b944d2dad7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ceri Davies Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 19:08:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Correct the description of minpoll and maxpoll. Note that while later versions of the ntpd documentation use the term "dual logarithm", the text added here is consistent with the remainder of the current document.
