FreeBSD XXXX.terranova.net 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #5: Tue Mar 18 18:20:59 EDT 2008 tog at XXXX.terranova.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/XXXX amd64
>Description:
Ntpd 4.2.4p4 from ports should probably not use mlockall() for FreeBSD 5.x or later. mlockall() does not work under amd64 and FreeBSD also now has SO_TIMESTAMP.
i386 seems to work with mlockall(), but using amd64, having ntpd compiled with HAVE_MLOCKALL causes the following when you start ntpd:
Jul 9 16:22:47 <ntp.notice> XXXX ntpd[82826]: ntpd 4.2.4p4 at 1.1520-o Wed Jul 9 20:21:24 UTC 2008 (1)
Jul 9 16:22:47 <ntp.err> XXXX ntpd[82827]: mlockall(): Resource temporarily unavailable
