That is a very interesting anecdote. That has got to make Henning proud;
hell I'm proud of him. The amazing thing is that the ntpd binary on my
i386 is only 34.4K. The ntpd binary (non-OpenNTPD) on my i386 FreeBSD
media center is 263K, not to mention all of the other ntp* binaries,
which bring total size to 426K. Plus, OpenNTPD has privilege separation!
Try statically linking them, and then look at the numbers again.
Well, I'm not going to do that, but I think I understand the point that
Theo is making.
