I have had a look at the NTPns package and I don’t think that you will be able 
do what you want without something naming the seconds. As you have GPSDO’s to 
give you UTC aligned seconds you may be able to use the voice time service TIM 
to help you manually set the system clock to the nearest sec and then just have 
the 1PPS on gpio to get align the seconds to UTC. I have done this and it works 
ok. However, you won’t get the upcoming leap second adjustment (my bet is on 
Jun 30 next year, but it could be pushed out to Dec31 ). If you are not using 
snmp, you will not be able to do monitoring either.

I would be inclined to use  NTP rather than NTPns as per 
<http://www.febo.com/pages/soekris>. I know that the 4501 has only 128Mb , but 
that is easily enough.
