systemd support?

Talk status

This discussion is done.

I am not sure if OpenNTPd is really working with systemd. Could anyone using systemd verify this if the section really fits in this article and not the ntp article? This would be great Needle (talk) 23:27, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Tried the client set up. OpenNTPd is installed and enabled on my gentoo box with systemd 226, but does not work:

CODE

myself@lapslave ~ $ eix ntpd
[I] net-misc/openntpd
     Available versions:  5.7_p4-r2 ~5.9_p1 {libressl selinux}
     Installed versions:  5.7_p4-r2(21:23:08 24.11.2015)(-selinux)
     Homepage:            http://www.openntpd.org/
     Description:         Lightweight NTP server ported from OpenBSD

myself@lapslave ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
 * WARNING: ntpd is already starting
myself@lapslave ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/ntpd stop
 * ERROR: ntpd stopped by something else

But the systemd-timesyncd mentioned at the end works well:

So I would say: no, OpenNTPd does not work with systemd (Knecht) Mo 2016-05-16 09:45:33 UTC
