 I am wondering if any work is currently underway to port the latest
 OpenNTPD to other platforms? Looks like there has been lot of good work
 in OpenNTPD since version 3.9. It would be really nice to have it for
 other platforms as well.

If you can't find it for your platform, try another tiny package -
clockspeed. clockspeed will synchronize your clocks to very good
precision (attoseconds?), and will also allow you to serve time
through taiclock protocol.

   That's the latest portable version, but the OpenBSD one has
   since been improved.

  not as far as I am aware. which is a pity.

 Robert Nagy did a bunch of work pulling in much of the recent changes.
 I put up a snapshot[1] a while back with these, but there's been no
 release.

 There's more work to be done, and some of it is going to be nontrivial
 to port (eg sensors, adjtime(NULL, olddelta) returning the remaining
 offset) and I have been busy with other things and slacking in this
 department.

Thanks a lot. This is very useful. Does your snapshot tarballs compile
under, say Linux? I will try them nevertheless. Meanwhile it will be
really nice to have a complete release of the portable version with all
the latest changes pulled in. I have been digging into doing this for a
while, but the sensor stuff is really turning out to be a good
challenge.

The sensor framework will not help you a lot without the device drivers.
It's probably easier to switch your timeservers to OpenBSD than going
through the pain of porting this to Linux... In some areas we are just
better ;)

I meant latest Portable OpenNTPD, not OpenBSD. Sorry. :)
