Hi,

Ooops! Yes I you're right! I use a lot ntpd on a Macintosh SE/30 running
NetBSD and I've made confusion with it.

NetBSD has a very good and complete ntp.conf file and to run it we
just run `ntpd` or configure it "ntpd=YES in rc.conf. 

Why FreeBSD doesn't have a feature like that? It happens with a lot
contributed programs but not with ntpd? Maybe just a sample ntp.conf...

Yours,

	Nuno Teixeira
