Whilst we're waiting, I've noted that, if I define an alias address for the
ethernet interface, xntpd doesn't listen on it ..

e.g. ..
	
	ifconfig ed0 inet 202.14.234.69 netmask 255.255.255.240
	ifconfig ed0 inet alias 202.12.127.65 netmask 255.255.255.240

 .. but xntpd only listens on 202.14.234.69 (and 127.0.0.1, of course). By
way of explanation, I have two class C subnets on the one ether as a
consequence of a transition between them (which is taking longer than I
really want :-().

The other observation is that I can't say .. "addserver 127.127.1.15" to
xntpdc which usually allows xntpd to use the local clock as a reference when
my PPP link gets saturated to the point of disturbing the measurements
beyond the dispersion limits. It complains of "refclock_newpeer: clock type
1 invalid", yet LOCAL_CLOCK is defined :-(
