many people seem to have had troubles with the new ntp release ... |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
a little background info: |
| 4 |
we have users that wish to run ntpdate at boot time and then run ntpd from |
| 5 |
there on out ... makes sense for some setups ... |
| 6 |
we also have users that wish to run ntpd *only* ... |
| 7 |
we also have users that wish to run ntpd to set the clock and then have it sit |
| 8 |
in the bg to sync time with the server ... |

| 10 |
current state of ntp: |
| 11 |
to accomdate this the rc scripts have gone through some changes ;) |
| 12 |
this next release (-r4) should have enough comments for everyone to quickly |
| 13 |
understand what they should set in order for ntp to work happilly with their |
| 14 |
system ... and enough options to accomadate all of the above setups ... |
| 15 |

| 16 |
any further questions/concerns/problems can be sent to me personally. or file |
| 17 |
a bug at bugs.gentoo.org. |

as for manpages, they dont currently exist in the ebuild of ntpd since they |
| 20 |
dont come with the standard distribution. if anyone has a URL or something |
| 21 |
to generate/aquire manpages for ntp, ill add it to the ebuild. |
