[ntp:hackers] sntp

[Danny Mayer]

sntp is very much the orphan child of the project and I admit that I haven't
looked at it. It sounds like the code isn't using a select so it doesn't have
to wait on a recv.  You'd have to supply more details to be sure.

The sntp code needs to get rewritten but I don't see doing that in the
near future. Is there a specific reason for not using ntpd instead? Also
what platform is this?
