Apparently you did that yourself: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=3aef814c0b08d9703280b4772060ce5016c683c4 I think there are still at least two issues in the peer documentation: -p PEER Obtain time from PEER (may be repeated) If -p is not given, read /etc/ntp.conf 1) It does not mention that it aborts if the peer is unavailable, e.g. unresolvable hostname. 2) It does not mention what the format of /etc/ntp.conf is. It may be obvious for you, but for me it is not. I assume it is some standard format, but what is the standard? Any reference to it, etc? _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
