There is a reference implementation of nptd available from ntp.org! Open ntpd is a different (and competing) product which is not supported here. The reference implementation from ntp.org requires that you have a C compiler (gcc will do the job). If you have gcc (and gmake) installed, you can do: ./configure make wait for a while and you're done. You may need to move the ntpd executable to wherever your O/S keeps executables (/bin, /usr/bin, /opt, . . . .) There is a lot of documentation, advice, etc, available at ntp.org. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
