[hobbit] NTP tests taking a long time.

[Stewart L]

so I would disable the built-in NTP test and replace it with this ntpd test?


Looking through the code, it appears to handle these in a blocking mode as
well, waiting for a reply before going to the next one.

I would think a non-blocking design would be faster. Not sure this would fix
the problem, or just hide it by putting it in an external script that could
take more than 5 minutes.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a
beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The
bartender says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers.
