Does not build, just a basic start. Problem reported upstream at https://github.com/bsdphk/Ntimed/issues/23 This is a preview/early-acces/alpha/buzzword-of-the-times release of a new FOSS project written to gradually take over the world of networked timekeeping. The first step is a NTP protocol client daemon, 'Ntimed-client', which will synchronize a systems clock to some set of NTP servers If this catches on, support for slave servers, refclocks and other protocols, such as PTP, can be added, subject to interest, skill, time and money. The overall architectural goals are the same as every other FOSS project claims to follow: Simplicity, Quality, Security etc. etc. but I tend to think that we stick a little bit more closely to them. This work is sponsored by Linux Foundation, partly in response to the HeartBleed fiasco, and after studying the 300,000+ lines of source-code in NTPD. I concluded that while it could be salvaged, it would be more economical, much faster and far more efficient to start from scratch. Ntimed is the result.
