msntp and openntp size comparison

On free the size will likely change, but it's at least a factor of 10
smaller right now! I can certainly find 300K worth of PHP to replace
it (embedded platform can always use a few extra K)

That's ISC ntpd, no refclocks. Given a choice between msntp, openntp,
and isc, I vote ISC. Open has been known to be abusive to servers in
the past.
Dragonfly also has their own ntp client now, I don't have any info on
it however.
If we setup isc ntpd correctly, once it's running, all configuration
can be done live without tweaking conf files, including changes to
both server associations and access restrictions. This is something
I've wanted to see pulled into pfsense, so I'm more than willing to
try and do the heavy lifting to make it happen.
