xntpd was probably crashed by an attempted (possibly successfull)
remote root exploit that xntpd is vulnerable to unless patched... search
the mailing list archive for details.

adjkerntz only runs if your CMOS (hardware) clock is set to local time, it
is not needed if the CMOS clock is set to UTC.  'man adjkerntz' for
details.  If /etc/wall_cmos_clock exists, adjkerntz will run, otherwise it
will not.
