Right now that's a difficult question. On some O/S's you can do this but
in some you are really restricted. You need some privilege to change the
time or adjust the time frequency on your O/S. You also need privileges
to bind the sockets to 123/UDP. All of this is O/S dependent. We are
looking into what we can do to lock things down better.
