ntpd status?

For anyone who misses "ntpq" out of the standard ipk, I built a package
that includes the standard utilities:

ntp-keygen
ntp-wait
ntpd
ntpdate
ntpdc
ntpq
ntptime
ntptrace

It was built on the freerunner itself against 2008.testing (as at
6/12/08)

The init.d file is the same one from the standard package - but the ipk
doesnt auto-start it like the standard ntp ipk (I want CONTROL dammit :)

I have included an ntp.conf that has a GPS stanza - seems unstable and
my local internet linked ntp server (over WiFi) is much better - someone
may suggest something here.

Available from:
http://wdk.dyndns.org/freerunner/ntp_4.2.4_p5_armv4t.ipk

Remove any existing ntp packages: "opkg remove ntp"
opkg install http://wdk.dyndns.org/freerunner/ntp_4.2.4_p5_armv4t.ipk

Have fun,
BillK
