Bug#373824: RFH: ntp -- Network Time Protocol: network utilities

[Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

We could use a few more people to help with the ntp package.  We have a
new mailing list and a subversion repository hosted under the pkg-ntp
project on alioth.  There is a boatload of bugs to deal with, most of
which are not that hard but need someone with a little time and
dedication to evaluate them.

The package description is:
 NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep computer clocks accurate
 over the Internet, or by following an accurate hardware receiver which
 interprets GPS, DCF-77, NIST or similar time signals.
 .
 This package contains control programs which can access a remote NTP
 server.  Thus you will need either ntp-simple or ntp-refclock;
 ntp-refclock includes drivers for radio clocks.
 .
 For more information about the NTP protocol / NTP server configuration
 and operation, load the optional Debian package 'ntp-doc'.
