The only NTP servers that were thought to work with Samba AD were ntp &
chrony, now I not so sure, but I believe that the ntp replacement,
ntpsec, has now been fixed, not sure if chrony works or not.

I cannot recommend continuing to use openntpd, purely and simply
because, as far as I am aware, it doesn't have the code to 'speak' to
Samba AD.
