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
