Dave, It was Ryan and not I who wrote about mode-6 - I protest my innocence! I continue to recommend the reference implementation for Windows use, and I am grateful to those who continue to make a compiled version available. It would be good to see even a limited SNMP capability included in NTP - for monitoring only, not for control. Offset alone would be enough for me, although the ability to reproduce the ntpq -p display would be great.
