Hi Bill --

Your lucky day may be at hand -- I've been struggling to get my herd of Soekris 4501s running again and thought the process of updating from BSD 4 to 9 would be "simple." Well, several months later I have a working CF image and am just getting the four 4501s Soekris's (Soekri?) running again today.

I had to do some hand tweaking on the images to make things work, so I don't feel comfortable sending the config files, but I am happy to make the image available to you -- you could either snail-mail me a 2GB CF card, or we could see how much the image compresses and I can host it on febo.com.

I have a soekris box but got hung up on the compact free bsd install.  Wish I 
had more time to get a handle on that.  I am certain the thing would be hard to 
beat power wise and it is all in one nice tidy box.

Thoughts? Has it been done before, preferably with open source? I'd love
to make it myself but I have to finish the GPSDO first :-)


NTP is not as easy as you think.  Just doing the cryptography to handle
authentication is more then I would want to write.  When a free open source
ntpd exists it will be really hard to get people to help work on
re-inventing it.  But your idea to use a GPSDO to drive the system clock is
good.  People have done that and it works. You basically unsolder a TTL
"can oscillator" and put a small connector in it's place.
