     Right, as Dave said -- it has been changed.  Starting with 4.0,
 the source code was renamed back to "ntpd", not "xntpd".  So, anyone
 shipping something called "xntpd" which claims a version of 4.0 or
 greater means that they must have modified the source code or made
 other changes.

 ntpd V4.2.0 built from source and started via a link named "xntpd":

Right, let's go back to my statement. I said that they either modified the source code (i.e., the old NTPv3/xntpd source code to claim a version 4.x), or they made other changes (i.e., they took NTPv4 source code and changed the name to be xntpd instead of ntpd).

That statement is still accurate. In this case, they appear to have done the grave disservice to their customer of taking an NTPv4 codebase and calling the resulting executable "xntpd".


You have yet to prove any aspect of your claims. Instead, you just go on and on spouting the same things over and over again, without making any positive contribution to this issue.


Getting back to the original problem, Dr. Mills said that the original lines being logged will not be found anywhere in our source code. I trust him on that statement. If you can prove otherwise, please feel free to do so.

Otherwise, please stop calling me a liar, and please stop calling Dr. Mills a liar.


If you do have something useful to contribute to this matter, please do so. Otherwise, please let someone else get a word in edgewise, and try to actually be helpful.
