I just found this information out this morning when I did a fresh install of 
Lenny and couldn't find ntpdate. I think my heart skipped a beat.

 

# If you use the testing distribution, please note that ntp has been

# removed from it because of a license issue¹.  You should be able to

# install the version from unstable², though.

 

Thanks for those links! I appreciate it.

 

This morning I kinda fell into a panic when I couldn't find ntpd and so I did 
some Google searching. It seems that people are suggesting a move to OpenNTPD. 
I found this link about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenNTPD.

 

I understand the licensing issues and all, but I really really need to have the 
information provided by `ntpq -p`. Time is very important at my job. Does 
anyone know if OpenNTPD can provide this information? I guess what I should be 
asking is: should I make a move to OpenNTPD or some other NTP service? Or 
should I just install the deb files from Sid and go on like nothing happened?

 

Any information or comments are welcome.

 

Thanks!

Chris Stackpole
