Well, so far -- this is only a client, so, it's not really much of a unique replacement of anything just yet.
Apart from OpenBSD's ntpd (OpenNTPD) -- http://bxr.su/OpenBSD/usr.sbin/ntpd/ http://bxr.su/OpenBSD/usr.sbin/ntpd/ -- which is a compete ntpd client/server solution done the OpenBSD way since some 2004, there's also DragonFly's dntpd -- http://bxr.su/DragonFly/usr.sbin/dntpd/ http://bxr.su/DragonFly/usr.sbin/dntpd/ -- a client-only ntpd, originally written by Matt Dillon in 2005 -- http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2005-April/242742.html http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/commits/2005-April/2... -- e.g. nearly concurrently with OpenNTPD development and polish.
Oh, yeah, and PHK hates OpenNTPD. I'm surprised he apparently has recently used such nice words about OpenNTPD! One of the main reasons he was against OpenBSD's sensors framework going into FreeBSD was the timedelta sensor support, a type of sensor which basically tells you the offset of your system clock compared to some other clock source (e.g. http://mdoc.su/o/nmea.4 http://mdoc.su/o/nmea.4 / http://bxr.su/OpenBSD/sys/kern/tty_nmea.c http://bxr.su/OpenBSD/sys/kern/tty_nmea.c), and these timedelta hardware sensors are used by OpenBSD's ntpd to set the correct time, which seems to do the job just fine.
