Description Michael C. Ferguson 2005-04-17 14:17:00 UTC 
ntpd supports chroot jailing the process, but currently this is not easily 
supported in the ebuild. In order to enhance the security of ntpd, we should add a
pkg_config section to the ntp ebuild, a la net-dns/bind, which automatically sets
up the chroot'd environment.

feel free to post a patch :)
Comment 2 Michael C. Ferguson 2005-04-19 18:40:25 UTC 
Ah OK OK, one is in the works; I will shamelessly rip most of it from the
bind and dhcpd ebuilds, though. :P
