ntpd automatically manages the poll period based upon a number of
factors. Under ideal conditions the poll period will increase to 1024
seconds (or 17.067 minutes).

Forcing ntpd to poll someone elses' time server every 64 seconds is
considered abusive.

Authentication is enabled by default (at least for ntp 4.2.x).
