You could also try openntpd. It seems to be lacking some features (ntpq |
| 10 |
doesn't work against it, for example) but it will connect to an ntp server |
| 11 |
and set your time. |

Of course with net-misc/ntp you get the ntpdate binary and startup script |
| 14 |
that are pure clients, to completely avoid running a daemon at all. |
