timedc> c ftp.apple.com
ftp.apple.com will not tell us the date
time on ftp04.apple.com is 356793 ms. behind time on nexgen.hiwaay.net
timedc> c ftp.sgi.com
time on ftp.sgi.com is 34 ms. behind time on nexgen.hiwaay.net

Why is it timedc insists a host will not tell it the date, then actually 
reports it. Except: if the remote host is running SGI Irix, all is fine. 
Same result from SGI to non-SGI host as shown above for FreeBSD to non-SGI.

Didn't timed and timedc originate at SGI?

Normally I run xntpd and ntpq, but its interesting to use timedc to check 
time against random hosts.
