[client.c ntp.c ntpd.h ]
query interval scaling, episode II
1) base the interval calculation on the offset from the last reply, not
from the last peer update.
Allows us to send more queries again faster when the local clock
diverges too much
2) every time we form a peer update (for which we need 8 replies)
check wether we have a ready peer update for all peers that are
currently trusted, and if so, calculate the total offset and call
adjtime().
that means that adjtime is no longer called in fixed intervals
but whenever we have enough data to reliably calculate the local
clock offset.
In practice, that means we call adjtime() less often, but with
probably better data.
3) invalidate peer updates after beeing used. no point in re-using them
- this resulted in calling adjtime() multiple times with the same
offset, which doesn't make sense
tested by many

[client.c server.c ]
there are a few recvfrom(2) errors we do not want to panic on
The auto nice daemon activates itself in certain intervals and renices
jobs according to their priority and CPU usage. Jobs owned by root are
left alone. Jobs are never increased in their priority.
TODO: Create RCD script.
WARNING: I hate patch-xx overhead, for this reason I SED some files. And
there's one "ugly" patch to work with NetBSD. This must be also revised.
picture should have own settings for mode and period. ChBg have nice
configuration UI writen by using of GTK+1.2x libraries. Can handle
configuration files simply created by graphical setup or can by started by
using of commandline parameters. ChBg now can act as screensaver (use
-screesaver option) or can be used as xscreensaver hack (use option
-xscreensaver). ChBg can do slideshow of pictures in own toplevel window ,
or you can redirect it to foreign windown with known windowid. ChBg have very
good picture viewing facilities with thumbnail previews and slideshow option.
From thumbanil preview windows you can remove, rename, scale selected images
or change formats of selected images.
It runs with Gnome, KDE and Nautilus.

- (dtucker) [Makefile.in] Create privsep directory and warn if _ntp group/
user do not exist.
- (dtucker) [defines.h] Mac OS X needs IOV_MAX defined too. From kinetik at
orcon.net.nz
- (dtucker) [configure.ac] Die screaming if we can't find getaddrinfo.
- (dtucker) [defines.h] Use "#if defined(..) not "#if (..)".
20040717
- (dtucker) [configure.ac] Import --with-ssl-dir checks from OpenSSH
Portable, configure will now automatically find libcrypto in its default
location.
- (dtucker) [ntpd.conf] Make more like OpenBSD's, but select 3 servers from
pool.ntp.org by default rather than use the "servers" directive.
GNU JAF is a framework for declaring what beans operate on what MIME type data.
Content handler beans can be defined to handle particular MIME content. The JAF
unites internet standards for declaring content with JavaBeans?.
The JAF defines two mechanisms within the framework. The first, the file type
map, specifies the MIME content type for a given file. The default
implementation of this uses the UNIX mime.types format to map filename
extensions to MIME types. The second mechanism, the command map, specifies
the actions that can be applied to a given MIME content type. The default
implementation of this uses the standard mailcap format to map actions to
JavaBean? classes. These beans can then view, edit, print, or perform
whatever other action is required on the underlying resource.
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.
OpenNTPd is primarily developed by Henning Brauer and Alexander Guy as part
of the OpenBSD Project. The portable version is made by Darren Tucker.
The software and is freely useable and re-useable by everyone under a BSD
license.
