Very nice one. Thanks!

This very box now shows offset etc in ntptime output:

# ntptime
ntp_gettime() returns code 0 (OK)
  time d3103135.6463bec8  Sun, Mar 18 2012 11:02:29.392, (.392147286),
  maximum error 3760 us, estimated error 0 us, TAI offset 0
ntp_adjtime() returns code 0 (OK)
  modes 0x0 (),
  offset -20.680 us, frequency -25.230 ppm, interval 1 s,
  maximum error 3760 us, estimated error 0 us,
  status 0x2007 (PLL,PPSFREQ,PPSTIME,NANO),
  time constant 4, precision 0.001 us, tolerance 500 ppm,

The other box shows:

# ntptime
ntp_gettime() returns code 0 (OK)
  time d31031af.743126c0  Sun, Mar 18 2012 11:04:31.453, (.453875203),
  maximum error 13267 us, estimated error 283 us, TAI offset 0
ntp_adjtime() returns code 0 (OK)
  modes 0x0 (),
  offset 3729.313 us, frequency -57.395 ppm, interval 1 s,
  maximum error 13267 us, estimated error 283 us,
  status 0x2001 (PLL,NANO),
  time constant 4, precision 0.001 us, tolerance 500 ppm,

Why the PPSFREQ/PPSTIME omission?
