Wow, thanks. xntpd is quite a beast, and the man page reads like War
and Peace. Here are a few follow-up questions:

- when xntpd synchronizes with another host, does it do
micro-adjustments to prevent time wrinkles (even the first time), or
does is do one big adjustment?

- is there a way to run it "standalone", ie, to adjust a clock on an
unnetworked server?
