+sntpc is a simple network time protocol client
+
+It was written to deal with time on virtual hosts on MS virtual server which
+has a horrible virtual hardware clock.
+
+It will not make any efforts to slowly adjust the time, just set the time hard
+from an NTP source, either once or in a given interval.
+
+To use it in a virtual environment, set the clocksource to "pit". This will
+make the time go (mostly) backwards. Use the -b option to prevent sntpc to
+make time jump backwards.
