[gentoo-user] Simplest NTP client for standalone system?

[Stroller]

Hello,

Any recommendations for a simple NTP client?

I was surprised to find the clock wrong when I logged into one of my systems today.

On another system I have net-misc/ntp installed. On it I have:

  $ ls -1 /etc/runlevels/default/*ntp*
  /etc/runlevels/default/ntp-client
  /etc/runlevels/default/ntpd
  $ 

I *think* this is because ntp-client is designed not to make large adjustments, so ntpd is run at startup in case the clock is too far out.

Ideally I'd like a program that performs both roles. 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Stroller.
