To those getting 404's from attempting to access the cgi script - it
no longer exists ... I managed to break the script so badly that all
attempts to run it gave internal server errors in apache, even though
when I dumped the output to a static html file, this displayed ok.

I replaced it with http://www.morgad.no-ip.info/ntp/status.html which
is generated once per hour by a very hastily written shell script in
my /etc/cron.hourly/ directory. I can now go back and slowly tweak the
output to give the stats I am actually interested in - The ratio of
'count' to 'first', rather than 'count' by itself. Also the number of
lines with 'last' <1200, to give an estimate of the number of 'users',
and add the code to put machines submitting more than 100 packets an
hour to my firewalls 'drop' list.

best regards
Dave
