OpenNTPD vs. NTP

iami

Hello everybody,

there are several Cookbooks to set up NTP-server with reference to enabling OpenNTPD in Services. I have latest pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 and it has NTP in Services, no OpenNTPD. In package manager, there is no OpenNTP.

How do I install OpenNTPD?

Thank you

Don't follow some random crap on the internet, do some RTFM:

There is NO reason too - ntp is part of base install now.

Now I am calmed down. Damn I thought, another external package to configure. Have a great Sunday!

There are really ZERO external packages you should be installing on your pfsense install..

If you are installing external stuff to pfsense - I can almost promise you are going to break something.

With external you hopefully do not mean those in package manager too?
