OpenNTPD 3.6 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openntpd.org/ shortly.
This is our first formal release.
OpenNTPD is a FREE, easy to use implementation of the Network Time Protocol.
It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote NTP servers
and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local clock.
OpenNTPD is developed as part of the OpenBSD project, which sells
CDs, T-Shirts, and Posters.
Sales of these items help to fund development.

[config.c ntpd.h parse.y ]
move memory allocation for new peers into a new function, makes ID
allocation easier
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/08/10 12:45:27
[parse.y ]
in the pool case ("servers somepool.somewhere"), we add new peers while
looping over the addresses returned by the dns lookup, as each address
is one new peer.
however, if the lookup fails with a temporary error, we will try to lookup
later again. for that, we obviously need to insert one peer with the
hostname in addr_head... change one for() loop into a do { } while() one
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/08/10 19:17:10
[ntp_msg.c ]

[client.c config.c ntp.c ntpd.c ntpd.h ]
do not try to getaddrinfo() in the unprivileged process, send an imsg
asking the privileged one to do it. sends back an imsg with the
resulting addresses in a bunch of struct sockaddr_storage in the data
part.
this should fix all remaining issues with dns (non-)availability at
ntpd startup, be it due to named on localhost or something else.
tested by marco@ and Chris Paul <chris.paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- otto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/08/13 12:26:13
[client.c ]
Reset deadline on failed transmit. Avoids a spinning process if
all sends fail. ok henning@
- otto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/08/16 11:14:15
[client.c ]
Be more careful setting next and deadline, they should not both be != 0
at the same time.
ok henning@
- (dtucker) [configure.ac] libresolv now needed on some platforms (eg
Solaris).

[config.c ntpd.h ]
remove unused function
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/07/28 16:38:43
[client.c config.c ntpd.h parse.y ]
when a dns lookup fails at parse time, do not abort but try again
to resolve the hostname every 60 seconds
fixes ntpd invocations before e. g. a dialup link is established and such.
as we want ntpd to be a "fire and forget" background daemon it should
cope with such situations.
tested by many
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/07/28 16:56:21
[parse.y ]
prevent unresolvable hostnames in "listen on" statements
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/07/29 11:01:48

[client.c ntpd.h parse.y ]
wrap the heads for the linked list of addresses into a new ntp_addr_wrap
which, besides the head pointer for the list of course, stores the original
address as specified (i. e. as hostname instead of resolved IPs) and flags
and such.
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/07/21 09:40:55
[parse.y ]
no multiple free(); "John L. Scarfone" <j0@xxxxxxx>

[client.c ntp.c ntpd.h ]
query interval scaling, episode II
1) base the interval calculation on the offset from the last reply, not
from the last peer update.
Allows us to send more queries again faster when the local clock
diverges too much
2) every time we form a peer update (for which we need 8 replies)
check wether we have a ready peer update for all peers that are
currently trusted, and if so, calculate the total offset and call
adjtime().
that means that adjtime is no longer called in fixed intervals
but whenever we have enough data to reliably calculate the local
clock offset.
In practice, that means we call adjtime() less often, but with
probably better data.
3) invalidate peer updates after beeing used. no point in re-using them
- this resulted in calling adjtime() multiple times with the same
offset, which doesn't make sense
tested by many
- henning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2004/07/18 13:26:53
[client.c server.c ]
there are a few recvfrom(2) errors we do not want to panic on

AC_CANONICAL_HOST and associated files, from kinetik at orcon.net.nz.
20040717
- (dtucker) [configure.ac] Import --with-ssl-dir checks from OpenSSH
Portable, configure will now automatically find libcrypto in its default
location.
- (dtucker) [ntpd.conf] Make more like OpenBSD's, but select 3 servers from
pool.ntp.org by default rather than use the "servers" directive.
20040716
- (dtucker) [Makefile.in configure.ac defines.h includes.h ntp.h ntpd.h
server.c openbsd-compat/Makefile.in, added openbsd-compat/asprintf.c

Respond to client queries with better server statistics. We now output
a close-to-reality stratum, a real reference time, and a leap indicator
that will indicate if the local clock isn't synchronized.

[client.c ntp.c ntpd.h server.c ]
do not do the stratum guessing dance.
stratum is pretty much pointless anyway these days, and we certainly
do not want to send out illegal packets (stratum=0) until synced...
