By my read and understanding of the RFC, SNTP as a protocol is designed to
be used to set the time once, quickly, and ordinarily would not have an
attached refclock (and therefore would not be a long-running daemon).

Therefore, 'sntp' seems to me to be a perfectly good name for a program that
does the work David describes.

It also matches what has been implemented.

I seem to be missing something you are seeing - what do you think the RFC
expects from an SNTP implementation?  I'm talking about a client-only
implementation, not a barebones "I'm talking to a refclock and will answer
NTP queries" server.
