	Is there any chance that instead of patching the very old version of
xntpd we have that we could upgrade to the latest version? Version 3.4e
comes with the system, which is several years old. Version 3-5.92 is the
latest, and has many many improvements/features/bug/security fixes. The
only negative is that it comes with html docs instead of man pages, but
that shouldn't be too hard to deal with. http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/
for anyone that's interested.

	Don't get me wrong, I know that importing new sources is not a trivial
undertaking, but other than adding a couple new features and the man
pages the directory/file structure is basically the same, so this
shouldn't be too huge a project. (And no, I'm sorry to say that I'm not
quite up to the task yet, although by the time I get done with the C
class I'm taking who knows? :)
