I have been learning about NTP recently, and I noticed something
annoying. My Mac works fine *unless* it goes to sleep for a few hours.
Then it wakes up again, ntpd is still running, but it never seems to
get the time again. If I am reading this right, it has been 16 jours
since the last query. The mac has been awake for over an hour.
Any hints welcome.
