timedated isn't an improvement, it's just a new attempt at the code. In five years, you can recommend it.
For the moment, let's leave systems code to the people who understand it.
- microcolonel 12y agoBlah, blah, blah. You shouldn't discount everyone but the OpenBSD guys just because ntp.org's ntp is a 200kloc overgrown, underengineered mess. It offers a good out for people who would otherwise use ntp.org's ntp, and at least it's about 200x less complex(1056 lines of C). Stasticially speaking, it's unlikely to be as faulty. Timedated is an improvement even if just for the fact that it's incredibly simple to operate. You press a button and you're synchronized; very little to mess up. I use OpenNTPD on my OpenBSD boxes, but that doesn't make me immune to alternatives.
