>Portable OpenNTPD seems to have died: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenNTPD https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenNTPD If you follow that through the series of links, you find that it is just an assumption based on one guy who didn't know the project existed thinking unchanged = unmaintained.

Are you sure? There hasn't been a release for 8 years. I followed the links a while ago after hitting an intialization failure bug that leaves Linux boxes with the incorrect date. I found that neither Arch Linux or Redhat consider OpenNTPD to be supported on Linux. Edit: a better link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430143 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430143

  11/11/2009 is not 8 years ago. That "better link" is exactly what I was referring to.

    From the OpenNTPD homepage at http://www.openntpd.org/ http://www.openntpd.org/ Portable OpenNTPD 3.9p1 released May 14, 2006. It would be good if you could explain what I am missing. If there are more recent Linux releases and the information on the Redhat bug tracker is incorrect I would like to know. I'd rather be running OpenNTPD than ntpd.

        To be fair, all releases after the one cited by papaf don't have a corresponding portable release (and that's what this thread is about).
