Description Matthew Swank 2002-12-16 19:47:03 UTC

Package: net-misc/ntp-4.1.1b-r1

Currently, if you do not have a server line in the /etc/ntp.conf file, the
startup script gives you a warning, and does not run ntpdate.  However, it is
possible to run ntpd (and provide a host for ntpdate), by specifying a peer
instead of/as well as a server.  The startup script should look for both (e.g
NTPDATEPEERS=`grep '^peer[[:space:]]*' /etc/ntp.conf | awk '{print $2}'`)
