Hi all,
I've tested a W2k3 box time synchronization by setting the server using
the command line:
net time /setsntp:time.usv.ro
net stop w32time
net start w32time
The fact that you had to stop and start the service indicates how badly
the net time interface was written. It doesn't take much to write code
update information in the registry and then notify the service to go
reread it and act accordingly.
Is this possible with ntpd? I mean, applying changes to ntp.conf and
then tell the daemon/service to re-read its configuration file? I would
really love to see such a feature ... :-)
It's much harder to do with ntpd. Writing and reading registry bits is
easy. ntpd has to deal with a lot of different platforms, but yes it is
one of the things we would like to implement.

It could be fone for the Unix/Linux platforms. Send SIGHUP to the
daemon, the daemon catches the signal, rereads the configuration file
and starts making changes! Other platforms may not have an equivalent
mechanism. I don't think Windows does and I'm pretty sure that VMS does
not have a standard mechanism for this either.
OTOH, you can use ntpdc to make changes on the fly. . . .
