Editing Network Time Protocol (section)

=== OpenNTPD ===
In 2004, Henning Brauer of [[OpenBSD]] presented [[OpenNTPD]], an NTPv3/SNTPv4<ref>{{cite web |title=ntpd(8) - OpenBSD manual pages |url=https://man.openbsd.org/ntpd |website=man.openbsd.org |quote=It implements the Simple Network Time Protocol version 4, as described in RFC 5905, and the Network Time Protocol version 3, as described in RFC 1305.}}</ref> implementation with a focus on security and encompassing a privilege separated design. Whilst it is aimed more closely at the simpler generic needs of OpenBSD users, it also includes some protocol security improvements while still being compatible with existing NTP servers. The simpler code base sacrifices accuracy, deemed unnecessary in this use case.<ref name="accuracy">{{cite web |url = http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#OpenNTPDaccurate |title = FAQ 6.12.1: 'But OpenNTPD isn't as accurate as the ntp.org daemon!' |author = The OpenBSD Project |date = 21 August 2006 |website = The OpenBSD Project |access-date = 2020-05-14 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160205120110/http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#OpenNTPDaccurate |archive-date = 2016-02-05 |url-status = dead}}</ref> A portable version is available in Linux package repositories.
