Network Time Protocol (NTP)

NTP is upgraded from 3.4y to 3-5.93e and includes the following new features:

• ntpdate(1m) supports:

  • The -B flag, to force time to be slowed using adjtime(2), even if the offset is greater than 128 ms

  • The -q flag, to query only, not setting the clock

  • The -v flag, to be verbose, and include the version in logging

• xntpd(1m) supports the -A flag, to disable authentication mode

• xntpdc(1m) is a new daemon control program
