I think we're somewhat open to this. I personally am partial to openntp due to it's small size (can't speak much for the FreeBSD port of it) - with that said, as long as I'm not doing the work, carry on. We'll import whatever good working solution is decided on.
Joshua, privately I've had interest on this from one other person, hopefully they'll contact you to coordinate efforts. I'm willing to answer any questions, but would prefer to work on something else right now, so I'll leave it up to you guys to decide what you want to do. :) --Bill On 4/5/06, Joshua Coombs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Bill Marquette" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in > message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > msntp and openntp size comparison > > pfsense > # ls -la `which msntp` > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 455176 Nov 28 16:29 /usr/local/bin/msntp > > openbsd > $ ls -la `which ntpd` > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 38784 Feb 14 23:40 /usr/sbin/ntpd > > On free the size will likely change, but it's at least a factor of 10 > smaller right now!
