v3.0
c863f7a

First release as sntpd, with support for both acting as a (very limited) server and a client. It is a "multicall" binary where it can be called as ntpclient to simulate the behavior of the original ntpclient.

Packages for Debian 10, and compatible Ubuntu releases, available at https://deb.troglobit.com/

Changes

  • Initial support for a very limited server mode, enabled by default on port 123. The server reports itself as strata 1 and LOCL clock. The root delay and root dispersion calculation is rough at best. Much of the server calculation is inspired by the BusyBox ntpd, please use that one instead
  • Changes to Debian packaging, adjtimex is now in its own .deb
  • New, stripped down, command line options when called as sntpd
  • Updates to man page, new name and separate command line options
  • Drop OpenWRT mini-ntpclient.c from project, with configure option
  • Drop --disable-syslog configure option
  • Drop support for really old systems, no more gettimeofday()

Fixes

  • Fix #4: Rename project from ntpclient to sntpd to avoid confusion with the original ntpclient. This change also restores original command line options, and semantics, when called with the name ntpclient
  • Fix man page spelling errors, found by lintian
  • Add workaround for missing SIGGSTAMP on Linux 5.1 and later
  • Fix issues found by Coverity Scan:
    • check return value of send()
    • handle uninitialized socket
