I realise you are talking about stable software in base, but for info, phk's replacement is called 'ntimed' and can be found on github, and also in /usr/ports/net/ntimed/ - it's unfinished and we are not advised to run it on production systems, but living dangerously, I've been running it on 4 servers for a few months with no issues (although I had to make some 'glue' changes to make it stable.) cheers, Jamie
