+OpenNTPD is a FREE, easy to use implementation of the Network Time
+Protocol. It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote
+NTP servers and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the
+local clock. OpenNTPD is primarily developed by Henning Brauer as
+part of the OpenBSD Project. The portable version is made by Darren
+Tucker.
+
+You will need to add the "_ntp" user and group to /etc/passwd and
+/etc/group if it's not present on your system. Without these groups,
+the package will not work.
+
+You will also need to call the /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd script from one of
+your startup scripts if you want OpenNTPD to start at boot; one way
+is to add something like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd start
