[gentoo-amd64] ntpd and avahi

[Tonko Mulder]

Does anyone has this notice when restarting ntpd?

Zebaoth tonko # /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                       [ ok ]
 * Stopping ntpd ...                                                      [ ok ]
 * Starting ntpd ...

Yes.  It happens whenever anything uses the Bonjour API and you have
avahi providing it.  There's a  workaround: you can set
AVAHI_COMPAT_NOWARN to 1 (presumably in the ntp init script?).  Or, you
can emerge ntp with -zeroconf.  Or, you can do like I do, and ignore the
warning.  It's not an important one.
