yikes.. I don't know why your NTP server is that big.. or why you have
three of them.

our redhat 6.2 systems: (xntp3-5.93-14)
root       342  0.0  0.3  1364 1364 ?        SL   May16   0:00 xntpd -A

a debian system: (ntpd versoin 5.0.99g)
root       308  0.0  0.6  1556 1548 ?        SL   May14   0:44 /usr/sbin/ntpd


Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net)
