1.0.1 and ntpsnmpd

2018-02-25 Thread Ian Bruene via devel
Is ntpsnmpd having it's Official Release with 1.0.1, or are we punting to the next release? Right now I do not believe that it would be crazy, but there are still options that need work, and logging is not systematic and consistent yet. The missing options I've thought of are all simple to a

>> Do we have any documentation describing a use case? > Not exactly, but look at the snippets under etc/ntp.d/. All those examples don't use the auto-grab feature. Most of the file names don't end with .conf, and the one that does is a sample ntp.conf that could be better placed up a level. I

Anybody dried -i jaildir?
