Over the past few months, Bernard Spil has been hard at work importing OpenNTPd 6.0p1 in HardenedBSD base. Starting with 12-CURRENT, HardenedBSD will ship with OpenNTPd by default. Just like with LibreSSL in base, HardenedBSD users have a choice when building world of which NTP daemon to use. Users who want to use the legacy NTPd can set WITHOUT_OPENNTPD and WITH_NTP in src.conf(5). Bernard will continue maintaining LibreSSL and OpenNTPd in HardenedBSD base.

Users who are upgrading from an existing 12-CURRENT system from source and who use the legacy NTP daemon in base will need to perform the following actions:

1. Install new world
2. Run mergemaster or etcupdate
3. sysrc ntpd_enable="NO"
4. sysrc local_openntpd_enable="YES"

A binary update will be published within the next 24 hours that contains OpenNTPd in base. Those who use hbsd-update will only need to perform steps 3 and 4 above.
