FIPS standard. So they (IBM managment) asked for volunteers in MVS

Hi folks,
I have been asked to look into some sort of automated way to sync a z/OS
clock from Internet time servers. Syncing either local time (offset) or
the TOD clock (GMT) will be adequate. We are z/OS 1.4, single image, no
sysplex timer.
I spent some time looking into the SNTPD daemon
z/OS gets it time from TOD.
The TOD gets it time from either an operator or a sysplex timer.
A sysplex timer can be sync'ed with an external time referece, but that is
using special hardware (a modem dialing out) and not SNTPD server on the
internet.
