Yes, that fits - I've now booted my latest build, and reverted my
changes to the ntp bootscript. With LFS-svn-20130429 plus anything
I changed [ looks like linux-3.9 for the headers, and zlib-1.2.8,
plus using eudev (no offence intended - if you want to keep editing
the Makefile for udev-from-systemd I'm not bothered, but I'd rather
not spend time on something where other people are trying to make a
working fork) ], plus blfs-bootscripts-20130324, with the following
in passwd and group:
ntp:x:87:87:Network Time Protocol:/var/lib/ntp:/bin/false
and
ntp:x:87:
I get -
/usr/bin/ntpd: The ``user'' option has been disabled -- built
without --enable-checkctl or --enable-linuxcaps
followed by a version report and some other text.
Since I haven't seen Fernando's original post, I don't know if this
is the same as he reported. I also haven't compared it to my
20130423 build where I *thought* that adding the user and group had
quietened it.
At the moment I haven't looked at what --enable-linuxcaps requires.
For me, it's Zebedee time ("Time for bed!" -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_Roundabout) after finally
writing off my LFS-6.6 system (it can't build firefox-21.0) and I'm
disappointed to write off that attempt at long term support - it
gives me more respect for distros - even Ubuntu! - who try such
things. I'll respond to any replies later, if I need to.
