We have xntp3.3p working fine on NetBSD. Don't drop back to ntp3.4 if you happen to try that. ntp3.4 claims version 1 of the protocol and this software is not supportet. Only version 3 of the NTP implementation is supported. The software can be obtained via anon ftp from: louie.udel.edu:/pub/ntp/xntp3.3p.tar.Z By looking at /etc/rc from freebsd things look plausible. You should check /var/log/meesages for messages from xntpd. Further you need to check /etc/ntp.conf for a valid configuration. Try to start the daemon without reboot - if that works you might go on with auto start at reboot. Hope this gets you started. Frank Kardel (time@informatik.uni-erlangen.de)
