Help please. I am running 6.0-RELEASE, and am trying to build
ntp. Process fails during ./configure with the following results:
# cd /usr/src/contrib/ntp
# ./configure
--------------------------snip-------------------
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating ElectricFence/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: ElectricFence/Makefile.in
Interestingly, I get the same results using a 4.5 machine. I note
that in the /usr/src/contrib/ntp/FREBSD-upgrade file, it states in part,
For the import of NTP the following files were removed:
ElectricFence/*
so it makes sense that ElectricFence is not there, but how do I get
rid of the error?
Background:
I have the following entry in my crontab:
7 0-23 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org >/dev/null
In the old days, ntpdate would only send root an email if it could
not find a server. Now I get emails every time the cron runs, even
though I am dumping STDOUT to /dev/null. Problem is code in 6.0
directs server found messages to STDERR, while 4.5 code did not
contain this. I want to recompile with the server found messages
directed to STDOUT.
Thanks in advance,
Brad
