Sorry, but 'ntp' does work, it is the rewrite for more security
'ntpsec' that doesn't seem to work.

Chrony does seem to work, I just hope they do not follow ntpsec down
the same path.

The other thing that you have to know, Mark Foley is using Slackware,

In this case, I think Slackware is not a factor. For one thing, I downloaded the
ntp 4.2.8p17 source and built it using --enable-ntp-signd; not the as-shipped
Slackware version.

Also, I've used ntp 4.2.8p15 for several years, also with
--enable-ntp-signd, on
my current Slackware DC and all Windows domain members were able to use it as
the time source.

As well, the fact that I am getting "Local CMOS Clock" when I do
'w32tm /query
/source' on the Windows box certainly has nothing to do with either
Slackware or
ntpd.  I have deleted the GPO for "Time Sources", but Windows still
says my time
settings are controlled by the DC and I still get "Local CMOS Clock". 

So, my next step is to post an issue to Microsoft to see how I can get my time
source reset to "default" which, if everyone on this thread is
correct, should
resolve to my DC without me having to do anything special.

I'll post back what I find.
