If you want to install ntp, then 4.2.8 is the only option-- other
versions have severe security holes (although they can be ammeliorated).
So, you have three choices. a) run 4.2.8 and forget about worrying about
whether it is beta or zeta software
b) don't run ntpd
c) Run and earlier version but make sure that it is set up so tht the
security bugs are not exploitable.
