[FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-10:02.ntpd

[Roland Smith]

After updating the source to 8.0-RELEASE-p2 (according to /usr/src/UPDATING),
the build procedure for ntpd failed;

    # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd
    # make obj && make depend && make && make install
    don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd/../libparse/libparse.a. Stop

So I changed the procedure as follows, to make it work;

    # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd
    # make obj && make depend 
    # cd ../libparse/
    # make obj && make depend && make
    # cd ../libopts/
    # make obj && make depend && make
    # cd ../libntp/
    # make obj && make depend && make
    # cd ../ntpd
    # make && make install
    # /etc/rc.d/ntpd restart

I do not know what the cause of this problem is, but I suspect a Makefile
somewhere. If more people report this, maybe an errata notice should be
posted?

Hope this helps.

Roland
