To my knowledge, Daemon does *NOT* support NTP, but only timed.  
timed is an older and largely obsolete protocol, being supplanted by 
the much more accurate and scalable NTP.  I have used at least two 
NTP clients on the Mac other than Vremya - most all seem to be pretty 
nice.  I don't know about NTP servers for Macintosh..
