I suspect Danny's patches have only been applied to ntp-dev, but depending on when I last pulled ntp-dev back to -stable some of them might be there. Basically, we run ntp-dev all over and are expecting very few changes between ntp-dev and what will become ntp-4.2.1. We know that broadcasts work with networks that use ntpd. I have no idea what tardis is doing. The fact that they apparently do not support any authentication mechanism for broadcasts is troubling. As for the documentation, this is a volunteer project. There are at least three documentation channels: - the official pages (submit your ideas to Dave) - the FAQ (submit your ideas to Ulrich) - the twiki (edit/add pages as you see fit) If you post improved documentation to the newsgroup and you post permission to have your information used in the twiki, there is a chance somebody will see it and also copy it there. In general, I do not copy content from the newsgroup to the twiki without explicit permission. H
