We *really* have to get OFW clock checks working -- then this
disappears as an issue. I really want to be able to use ntp (at least
ntpdate on NM successful connect). The OATS clock sync is very rough
-- on purpose.

Apparently the ntp protocol supports some server-signing of the
messages -- we could use an OATS key for that. But it looks rickety.

cheers,
