[comp.sources.wanted] Network Time Protocol

edh@ux.acs.umn.edu (Eric D. Hendrickson) (11/20/90)

I am looking for something called NTP - Network Time Protocol.  I have seen
references to it around the net, but can't find it listed in any archive
directories.  Can anyone point me to a source of any kind for this?

Thanks very much for your help,
			Eric Hendrickson

Where can I find the source/documentation for ntpd (network time
protocol daemon)?  This daemon is able to synchronize internet
hosts down to the millisecond (as per RFC 1129).  It was developed
by Petry & Mamakos at the U. of Maryland.

Does anyone out there use this or any other time synchronization
daemon?  Does it work well with RFS & NFS?  Does it chew up much
CPU or network time?  Are there any administrative subtlties
or general operating instructions?
