We have ntpd and ntpq that replace the programs with the same names from ntp classic.
For testing, we install in /usr/local/ so we don't conflict with a system version of ntp classic. If you hack your search path, you get our code rather than the system programs with the same names. That works only because we install in /usr/local/ while the system version of ntp classic gets installed in /usr/ What's going to happen if a distro packages up our stuff and somebody wants to install both our code and ntp classic? How do other projects with similar name clashes handle things? Are we setting ourselves up for problems tomorrow by hijacking the names to make things convenient today? There are similar problems with man pages. Probably others that I can't think of right now. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
