	How is the best way to do this?

	In Debain Linux there is a utilty /usr/sbin/netdate. I takes one or
	more servers as arguments, determines what the "Best" time is and sets
	the system kernel time.

	If there is sonething like this already done, I would like to know
	about it. If not I will take a crak at poritng this to FreeBSD.

	As always, if there is a betterway to do this I would like to here aout
	it.
