Technical contact: Harlan Stenn (NTP Project)

This task is to create an SNTP implementation; this program will + be a "reference" implementation of SNTP, based on the latest + NTPv4 document. SNTP is first and foremost a lightweight NTP + client. It will use GNU AutoGen (like the rest of the NTP + programs) for its options processing. While an SNTP + implementation may talk directly to a reference clock, the core + requirement for this effort is to be a simple client + implementation. We have an existing implementation based on an + older specification. It contains functionality that is obsolete. + You could write a ground-up implementation or take the existing + one and hack it in to shape, or some combination of the two.
