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. + +You will also need to call the /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd script from one of +your startup scripts if you want OpenNTPD to start at boot; one way +is to add something like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: + if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd start + fi |
