  • Bug#266022: RFP: openntpd -- OpenBSD NTP deamon

    From Marcin Owsiany@1:229/2 to All on Mon Aug 16 13:10:09 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: wnpp
    Severity: wishlist

    * Package name : openntpd
    Upstream Author : Henning Brauer and Alexander Guy
    * URL : http://www.openntpd.org/
    * License : BSD
    Description : OpenBSD NTP deamon

    OpenNTPD is a FREE 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.

    Looks really tiny and appears to have privsep, too.

    Why emphasize its freeness? ntp* are also free.

    I suggest that you remove the word "FREE" from the description to avoid confusion.

    Emphasis wasn't mine. That was directly copied from their website.

    I wish to package this and will prepare a package for this soon.

    I will be looking for sponsor as I'm no DD.
