[time-nuts] Sun Blade 100 as GPS-controlled NTP server

[Robert Vassar]

Solaris has some pretty useful timing/timekeeping API's.  You might  
want to consider OpenSolaris, it's not quite BSD free, but the CDDL  
is OSI approved.  For some reason or another, Sun continues to use a  
3.x derived NTP daemon.  I know the maintainer.  It's been a few  
years since I pestered him about moving to 4.x, I should ask again.   
It's likely too late to make such a change for "Solaris 11", or  
whatever OpenSolairs/SXDE will be called when "productized".
