I remember I switched to stock NTP from openntpd a while back because of a 
discussion I saw on this mailing list concerning its suitability for cross-
platform use.  I think it was something about its origins in one of the BSDs, 
and how the maintainers responsible for ensuring its correct operation on 
other platforms (including Linux) had more or less abandoned it.  I don't know 
if this is still the case?

Regardless, I originally chose openntpd because it seemed easier to configure, 
but I've since realised that's not really true.  NTP itself is perfectly 
simple, and definitely *is* very well supported.
