Yep, that's right. Cisco could have mentioned sanity check in their
documentation. But for those who wants to go "beyond" there are
originals - RFCs ;) At least that is what I had to go through once when

A big up to Guy for pointing me to this document from Sun. Cisco could
learn a thing or two about docs from them, if thats the way all Sun's
docs are written. For those interested the middle of page 5 lists the
sanity checks that NTP runs
