Description: OpenBSD NTP daemon
 NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep the computer clocks
 synchronized. It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote NTP
 servers and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local clock.
 .
 This is an alternative implementation of the NTP software, made by the OpenBSD
 project. It makes use of privilege separation, only implements a subset of the
 NTP protocol, and does not adjust the rate of the clock.
 .
 Alternative packages which provide similar functionality are ntp and chrony.

-----------------------
I then looked at OpenNTPD's website (openntpd.org) and verified that their 
source calls one of the following: adjtime() or settimeofday().  After 
verifying theirs would call adjtime() I check'd the source package:
$ apt-get source openntpd
it appears this package also contains this call to adjtime().  This call 
implies to me that the line "...and does not adjust the rate of the clock" is 
incorrect.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.
