From what I read on the ntpsec website, it&#x27;s essentially a clean up of the ntp codebase as the latter has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years.<p>OpenBSD developed OpenNTPD precisely because of the state of the ntp codebase. Why not start off this, and add the features that are missing ?<p>Another question: why is the Linux Foundation funding both ntpsec and ntimed ?<p>My previous question also applies to ntimed, but that&#x27;s not for you to answer :).
