The ntp, mpp and package included with AFS are obsolete. The ntp package is intended to only maintain time on servers; Clients get time from servers unless afsd is started with -nosettime. That said, if you're running servers, you should get and install ntp from: ftp://ftp.udel.edu/pub/ntp/ntp4/ (Their home page can be found at http://www.ntp.org/) Newer versions of ntp include support for authentication. They also make more efficient use of the network. Disk management tools like package (and the preprocessor included for use with it, mpp) are not strictly part of a distributed filesystem package. However, Carnegie Mellon Computing Services has continued to use and occasionally develop them, and current versions can be found at: ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/AFS-Tools To enable building of the obsolete code included with OpenAFS, run configure with the --enable-obsolete switch
