OpenNTPd is a portable implementation of the
Network Time Protocol. It provides the ability to
sync the local clock to remote NTP servers and can
act as an NTP server itself, redistributing the
local clock.

This corresponds to the OpenBSD 3.9 release.
Support for "listen on *" has been added for
several platforms. Installation documentation has
been improved. Man pages are now generated in the
correct format for each platform. Various small
problems have been fixed.
Handling of network error conditions has been improved: some conditions that caused excessive CPU use on Linux or the server to shut down are now handled correctly. Logging has be made quieter and small adjustments will only be logged in debug mode. Query intervals are now randomized, servers with larger offsets or error conditions will be queried less frequently. Support for IRIX and QNX4 has been added.

automatically used if OpenSSL is not available.
A new "-s" option was added to step the clock on startup rather than slewing. The stratum, precision, and refid are now set correctly in replies (the latter means ntptrace will now work). The program is more robust and less noisy in the case of some network error conditions. The IP ToS low-delay bit is now set on IPv4 packets. HP-UX and Solaris < 7 are now supported platforms. There were also other minor bugfixes and improvements.
Recent changes from OpenBSD were imported. The new
