OpenNTPD is a FREE, easy to use implementation of the Network Time
|
|
|
|
Protocol. It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote
|
|
|
|
NTP servers and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the
|
|
|
|
local clock. OpenNTPD is primarily developed by Henning Brauer as
|
|
|
|
part of the OpenBSD Project. The portable version is made by Darren
|
|
|
|
Tucker.

You will need to add the "_ntp" user and group to /etc/passwd and
|
|
|
|
/etc/group if it's not present on your system. Without these groups,

the package will not work. See http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt

This package conflicts with the "ntp" package included with Slackware,
|
|
|
|
so only one of them should be installed at any given time.

|

it to work.
