And for some types of servers (notably Windows domain controllers
and other Kerberos-style servers) it is completely inadequate.
For this reason I've set the CLOCK option to 700 seconds for these
particular hosts.
You're right that it requires some code-changes to use the "sntp"
utility instead of "ntpdate". I'll merge some code for this into
4.3.0, that will also allow us to drop the old "ntpstat" extension
since we already have that data from either ntpdate or sntp.
Thanks for the information; that would be nice.
