First, the name is ntpd and not xntp. There was an xntp for version 3 but not for version 4. Second, if you start ntpd at boot time with the -g option you don't need to use the slewalways option since it will be synchronized before the database is ready for use. > I know W32Time slew works well.

I don't think it's 4.2.2 yet, but that doesn't matter in this case, it's recent enough and there are a few additional features that are not yet in the base code (My fault). > Let me dig on internet for somemore time. > > Appreciate if anyone could help me on Windows binary for XNTP 4.2.2 > I generally don't release the binaries I build since they normally are development builds and I have more work to do on the installer.
