If your design gets off the ground, I'd surely try to replicate it from your part list or buy a kit from you or whatever. Sounds great. On 8/19/2012 2:19 PM, Michael Tharp wrote: > On 08/19/2012 01:38 PM, Chris Albertson wrote: >> NTP is not as easy as you think. Just doing the cryptography to ha

Hi Bill -- Your lucky day may be at hand -- I've been struggling to get my herd of Soekris 4501s running again and thought the process of updating from BSD 4 to 9 would be "simple." Well, several months later I have a working CF image and am just getting the four 4501s Soekris's (Soekri?) run

Greetings nuts, All this recent NTP discussion has me thinking about a dedicated NTP server again. The usual solution is to use commodity hardware of some persuasion (PC, mini-itx or even ARM) running ntpd, but I'm thinking we can do better. The only reason a full ntpd is needed is for its sof
