Leap-second smearing is an experimental option that may be specified in
ntp.conf(5) and the -x option on the command line to spread the effect
of a leap-second over an interval as specified by the leapsmearinterval
config file statement. Recommended values are between 7200 (2 hours) and
86400 (24 hours).
It is advised that leap-second smearing not be used for public NTP
servers (https://www.meinbergglobal.com/download/burnicki/Leap\
%20Second%20Smearing%20With%20NTP.pdf). It is also advised that NTP
clients not use a mix of NTP servers using leap-second smearing with
NTP servers not using leap-second smearing as that could cause
undefined client behaviour.
Leap-second smearing was committed to ports net/ntp and net/ntp-devel
by r426825 on 2016-11-22.

The utmp code in systime.c is not enabled, so including <utmp.h> has no
effect in our setup. This makes it a little easier for me to migrate to

This bring us several things:
- updated drivers
- IPv6 support at last
- ntp-genkeys is replaced by ntp-keygen
- ntptrace is now a script (courtesy of John Hay)
- lots of renamed files from .htm to .html (while I prefer .html, I
find the change a bit gratuitous)
- still no manpages :(
Please test and report.
Commit very much helped by: GNU arch (http://gnuarch.org/)

make no difference in practice and eliminate concerns about this being

This is the second part of the commit (the third -- link in usr.sbin/Makefile)
will be done after a more complete review by phk & obrien.
NOTE: the number of drivers included in the default configuration is very
minimal, mainly local clocks and the one I use RAWDCF. Anyone wanting to
have a more complete version will find recompilation very easy.
It builds and runs on both alpha & i386. It also does survive "make world".
