net-misc/ntpclient-2017.246 There are two bugs actually. 1. Command line syntax differs from 2010.365 (-h does not specify host). And this breaks many scripts. 2. Does not work on kernels without IPV6 : silently exists with the following line in SYSLOG ntpclient[XXXXX]: Failed creating UDP socket() to SNTP server: Address family not supported by protocol
New version of ntpclient has been released fixing this long standing bug with ipv6 https://github.com/troglobit/ntpclient/releases/2018_176 PS I was thinking why the hell my script specifies -h if it gives help information. Now it is no longer required.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=644dcff9c0c33970f7e1ef5178cd8bf6d45f4a23 commit 644dcff9c0c33970f7e1ef5178cd8bf6d45f4a23 Author: Conrad Kostecki <conrad@kostecki.com> AuthorDate: 2018-09-28 11:16:04 +0000 Commit: Patrice Clement <monsieurp@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2018-09-28 14:11:08 +0000 net-misc/ntpclient: version bump to 2018.244.
