[NTLUG:Discuss] xntpd

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

As far as I know, xntpd only does OS time.  The nvram option I think is
read-only.   Other unix's run a "clock -s" like command to set the hardware
clock only as they are shutting down.  I'd stick it in rc.shutdown.

Ive never played with this but.....
