Hi Antoine!
Thanks for the follow-up on this! Usually from the standpoint of some servers that contain timestamp operations embedded on them, like databases or things alike, enabling -s could possible trigger data corruption, since from one instant to the other time change backwards. This is also default behavior from openntpd upstream. Personally I do have set -s on systems I know risks are not taken. Making -- BOFH excuse #449: greenpeace free'd the mallocs
