[ntp:questions] Re: Why ntpd is losing out to openntp at BSD

[David L. Mills]

Harlan,

I thought my position was well known. The SNTP client now in the 
distribution is poorly written, likely to be misused (server) and just 
not up to par with the ntpd code and maintenance mission. A good, 
compliant SNTP client is not hard to write at all, but discipline is 
necessary to avoid feature bloat. The feature most likely to be prized 
would be a MIB and SNMP client.
