Ah OK, I understand now! Thank you.
This makes me wonder: When starting ntpd -gq doing a step and quitting,
then immediatly starting ntpd daemon, this sequence sends 2 iburst
volleys, over around 14 seconds, without the said random delay in
between. Is that not rude to servers? The slew_sleeping script should be
modified to sleep some time after a step. How much? 16 to 64 s?

| sleep = 16 + int(rand() * 49)
| success = 1
| }
Serge.
