Folks, I admit that I know very little about FreeBSD! Following the
recent discussions I have:
- Updated my FreeBSD from 8.0 to 8.2, in the hope that this might update
NTP. It didn't.
- It did manage to insert some duff lines in sshd_conf which were enough
to stop that working! Fixed that after I dug out another display and
keyboard...
- It lost my kernel PPS configuration, which I managed to restore by
following the instructions for FreeBSD 5 with the suggestions made by
Harlan Stenn.
- I tried to update NTP using the instructions here:
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/InstallingNTP#Section_4.3.
but that didn't seem to update the version after a restart.
- I compiled the dev-NTP I had downloaded following the instructions in
the INSTALL file, which also appeared to compile, but did not alter the
ntpd version after a restart.
So I suspect I am missing some key step like copying the newly compiled
executables from where they have been compiled (twice) into the final
directory from where the system runs them. As I said, I'm a complete
novice in FreeBSD so likely I'm missing some very obvious step. I've
Googled this but must be searching for the wrong keywords.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
