Yes, it was the first command I tested - but what got me was the directory. I went to /usr/src/contrib/ntp as the files changed resided there. Might be good idea to mention in handbook that /usr/src/contrib is auxiliary tree and the build processes start from elesewhere. >> What command should I use to compile ntp stuff only - or should I >> just >> fire up the version from ports? > Using the version from ports is certainly reasonable -- it gives you > a lot more options and is updated more often -- but unless other > machines are synching to yours, it's unlikely that the advantages > (either way) would matter. As I just keep the clock of the box ticking as close to UTC as I can using external time sources, anything else is excess baggage. I went with the version from base, now that I know the directory from where to start the build. -Reko
