$ cat /etc/conf.d/ntp-client # /etc/conf.d/ntp-client # Command to run to set the clock initially # Most people should just leave this line alone ... # however, if you know what you're doing, and you # want to use ntpd to set the clock, change this to 'ntpd' NTPCLIENT_CMD="ntpdate" ... The help text is misleding. Setting NTPCLIENT_CMD="ntpd" gives me: # /etc/init.d/ntp-client start * Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpd' ... /usr/sbin/ntpd: The 'user' option has been disabled. -- built without --enable-clockctl or --enable-linuxcaps or --enable-solarisprivs ntpd - NTP daemon program - Ver. 4.2.8p6 # First of all I wonder why the package does not have USE=+caps already (if that is required for the functionality). Second, I do not know what is --enable-clockctl but that is probably the other needed alternative. Please improve the config file template at least.
