On the other hand, Macintoshes being built the way they are, I'd never use
one as an NTP server - only as a client. The Mac's clock hardware sucks,
and the system is wired to make clock interrupts the lowest priority
interrupt, which means that unless the OS is *exceedingly* careful about
interrupt lockouts, the system will lose time like a a man losing blood
from his femoral artery.
