Please note: this isn't valid for all of our ports. Notably, these machines
do not need this (I'm guessing a bit): hp300, sparc, sun3, da30, pc532.

Any solution that necessitates running ntpd is wrong. Running a
local/GMT correction program at startup seems to be sufficient, and I
still believe that the trick Sun uses is sufficient (I've not been
convinced that /dev/kmem is evil, because I've never seen anyone rm it).
