One of the most important things in forensic analysis of break-ins
or other security breaches is accurate time-stamping of logs.
Don't fool around with the time syncrhonization -- the size of the
program matters not, the accuracy is the key.
ISC's ntp is well known and understood and considered very
accurate. I see no other choice.
I thought that was one of the reasons the OpenBSD team went out and
created OpenNTPd: it's one of those things where a vulnerability
could lead to severe consequences, because the same code-base is now
in many, many milions of devices.
When the "oh-no, not another OpenSSH-vulnerabilty"-period is over, it
will probably be quite good and a worthy contribution to OSS as a
whole, no doubt.
