Harlan,

thanks for pointing out that sntp does not work with an undisciplined clock.

In this case, one has to resort to ntpdate or patch sntp::main.c:

--- /tmp/ntp-4.2.0b-rc1/sntp/main.c 2005-12-21 00:33:36.000000000 +0100
+++ main.c      2006-03-20 13:31:12.378670736 +0100
@@ -457,7 +457,7 @@
          failed = (data->mode != NTP_SERVER && data->mode != NTP_PASSIVE);
          response = 1;
      }
-    if (failed || data->status == 3 || data->version < 1 ||
+    if (failed || data->version < 1 ||
              data->version > NTP_VERSION_MAX ||
              data->stratum > NTP_STRATUM_MAX) {
          if (verbose)

I will update
   http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate
accordingly

Cheers
Daniel
