where's d4time?  certainly not in pkgsrc.  :)

and...freebsd (and solaris) have the capability of leaving the cmos
clock in "local wall clock time".  now *obviously* i'd like to leave
my cmos clock in utc, but windows won't do that.  is there any
interest in a port of the freebsd clock fudge mechanism to netbsd?
