I've built a dachstein 1.0.2 based CD with glibc 2.1.3. Among other 
enhancements you'll find xntp on the CD.

I thought about portsentry as well, but found it's not a good idea to 
block ports based on ip-addresses. 

Currently in Germany the most affordable flatrate with DSL is bound 
to dynmic ip-adresses (changing a least once a day). If someone today 
portsscan your net with an dynamic address, I might be blocked in the 
future for no other reason than unfortunately getting this 
ip-address. Given the long uptimes of leaf routers chances are good, 
that portsentry blocks more innocent users with dynamic addresses, 
than real portscanners. Now I could live a day without accessing your 
net, but what bothered me is administration of a net using 
portsentry. I hear all those yelling, that services have been 
inaccessible for the last day and you find everything is working ok 
now. 
Please correct me, if I understood portsentry wrong; I'm willing to 
add it as soon as possible, if it's handling dynamic addresses 
without problems.
