Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The clockctl pseudo-device, which is apparently required to
run ntpd in a chrooted environment is not included in the
GENERIC kernel configuration file on the i386 port, and
apparently not in any other kernels.
If I have understood correctly, this means that it will not be
possible to run ntpd chrooted in an "out-of-the-box install".
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to enable ntpd_chroot; watch it fail.
>Fix:
Add clockctl pseudo-device to kernel configurations, or
otherwise make it possible to run ntpd chrooted.
