According to the ntptime man page "This program is useful only with
special Kernels  described  in  the  A Kernel  Model  for  Precision 
Timekeeping  page."

Is there an easy way to know whether you have such a kernel?

I can run ntptime and get output.  (see below)  Does that mean I have a
special kernel?
