Thanks Harlan for your reply.
FreeBSD appears to expect these NTP programs to be
in:
/usr/sbin/
That is where the 2003 Oct port put them. I downloaded
the most recent 'ntp-dev' tarball I could find:
ftp://ftp.starhub.net.sg/pub/funet/unix/tcpip/ntp/xntp/udel/ntp4/ntp-dev-4.2.0a-20040826.tar.gz
I did a 'make install' as we discussed previously. As
before, the files were compiled to:
/usr/local/sbin/
I added the middle line of these three to rc.conf:
xntpd_enable="YES"
xntpd_program="/usr/local/sbin/ntpd"
xntpd_flags="-A -b -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -l
/var/log/ntpd.log"
After rebooting, the ntpd program is now running.
However, it doesn't appear to be able to 'hear' the NTP
broadcasts that the 2003 Oct version did. Here
is a log snippet:

The Windows computer generating the Tardis NTP broadcasts is
at IP address: 192.168.2.119. Does anyone have any idea
why it's not picking up these broadcasts?
Somewhere in here I also changed the CMOS Real Time Clock to
UTC, and reconfigured for my local time in /stand/sysinstall
Now what? How do I get the program to 'hear' the
broadcasts?
