Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

kostecke just announced version 4.2.4p7-RC6 of NTP on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release candidate adds useful error messages if droproot capabilities are
used when they are not available, makes --enable-linuxcaps the default. when
available, and includes a fix for memory corruption on systems with a very large
number of network interfaces.

Project description:

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer
client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or
satellite receiver or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a
millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on WANs relative to a
primary server synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global
Positioning Service (GPS) receiver, for example.
