While the idea behind OpenNTPD is to be good enough for the large majority of people, you can't just treat it as a replacement. It also doesn't deal well with local clock drift yet. (Yes, I think FreeBSD will eventually want to adopt OpenNTPD and return Mills ntpd to ports for those few time keeping maniacs who need it, but I'm not sure I want to advocate that at this point in time.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
