	If you use the OpenNTPd instead of classical ntpd one, you won't suffer 
this odd behaviour:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that 
brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass 
over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner 
eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only 
I will remain.
