I'll think about it.
There were a couple of other things on my mind at the time
when "working" ntp was current for me ( customer is out of funding
so I am busy elsewhere )
1. log errors to syslog
2. have ntpd listen to signals ( poll now, reenumerate interfaces, ..)
3. be able to strip out all "attached device" ref clock drivers
for a minimal "slave"
