In these variables, FACTS stores the NTP server addresses. The files are
suffixed with a number, which indicates the order they appear in the list.
The first server FACTS tries can be configured by setting the DEFSERVER
tooltype. The server lists can be maintained by using SLEFF.

Format:
ADDRESS:PORT[:SERVICE[:TIMEOUT]]

Example:
ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk:37:37:60

Specifies that FACTS should connect to server ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk, on port 37
using the time/tcp service with a timeout of 60 seconds. Service and Timeout
are optional - if not specified, FACTS will use the port number as the service
number, and a timeout of 60 seconds.

Service numbers:

13 - daytime
37 - time/tcp
372 - time/udp
123 - sntp
