ntp? nodroproot?

[volospin]

I am installing ntp 4.2.0-r2
It doesn't work proper as ntpdate [some_ntp_server] doesn't really work...
either no suitable server for xxx or socket in use...

I wonder if it is related to...

need to do

USE="+nodroproot" emerge ntp?

or as Gentoo Wiki suggests...

Code: Select all

If you're using a 2.6 series kernel, make sure you have it compiled with CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES, otherwise the root dropping will fail. If you used menuconfig or equivalent to generate your .config, CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES will not appear unless you enabled security models, which adds CONFIG_SECURITY=yes and half a dozen sub-options, one of which is CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES.

need to enable something in kernel?

thanks for reading this post and suggestion are welcome...
