Run NTP Server on TCR?
« on: May 22, 2014, 11:30:07 PM »
Guys - Is there a NTP Server package available for TCR? Google and TCR Forum searches did not turn up any positive results. I have DHCP and DNS already running on TCR. The last piece left is NTP Server.

Thanks. Any idea how to get ntpd working (looked around, however, did not find any documentation for TCR ntpd)?

The app browser seems to have only ntpclient.

http://www.tinycorelinux.net/5.x/x86/tcz/ also does not have reference to ntpd.

The ntpd in our busybox has server mode disabled. If there's no extension, you'll need to build a ntp server.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Yep, the binary for both client and server is called ntpd in bb.

$ grep NTPD busybox-1.22.1_nosuid.config
CONFIG_NTPD=y
# CONFIG_FEATURE_NTPD_SERVER is not set

So has anyone ever gotten ntpd (server mode) working in TCR? It would be nice to use TCR for most of the basic networking operations (DNS, DHCP, NTP etc).
