The NeXT ntpd implementation is derived from the ntp 3.4 version that we
wrote here at the University of Maryland.  I also have some changes that 
they made to interface with the Netinfo system they use.  It seems confined
to the part of ntpd that reads and parses the configuration file.  Otherwise,
it seems to be a rather standard version of ntpd.

My personal thanks to NeXT for tracking down and killing horrible kernel bugs
that made the NeXT 0.8 version of the software behave almost as bad as SunOS
does.  It seems to keep rather good time.
