ntpd as broadcastclient - not working?

I'd recommend the latest ntp-dev tarball

once you have it:

 % tar xvzf ntp-dev-whatever.gz
 % cd ntp-dev-whatever
 % mkdir A.x
 % cd A.x
 % ../configure
 % make
 % su
 # make install
 # /usr/local/bin/ntpd -gN -D2  (or whatever)

And remember that you need to use authentication by default if you
are using broadcast.

If you do not want to use authentication you will either need a line
in your ntp.conf file (I forget what it is, but it should be easy to find)
or use -A on the command line.

It's pretty easy to set up authentication.
