The ntp Distribution Base Directory
|
|
|
|
This directory and its subdirectories contain the Network Time Protocol
|
|
Version 4 (NTP) distribution for Unix and Windows/NT systems. This release
|
|
may still work on VxWorks, too.
|

|
|
The contents of the base directory are given in this file. The contents of
|
|
subdirectories are given in the README files in each subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
A complete explanation of the configure, compile and install process, as
|
|
well as setting up an NTP subnet, is in the HTML pages in the ./html/
|
|
directory. For more information on NTP and how to get a working setup,
|
|
read WHERE-TO-START.
|
|
|
|
For Windows/NT, visit html/hints/winnt .
|
|
|
|
The base directory ./ contains the autoconfiguation files, source
|
|
directories and related stuff:
