3c4165a305 enable ntpd server for busybox
hi

Another version, in this one the enable_server option is in the timeserver ntp part of the "system" config file
You can patch trunk and bacfire (tested both)
You can put busybox ntpd in client mode (if you put server), in client & server (by putting enable_server to 1, ntpd listen to udp 123), and also in server mode only (if you didn't put any servers in the config and still put enable_server 1,  ntpd will answer with the time of the router)

I've replaced "config_foreach getpeers timeserver" with "config_get peers ntp server" because we want ntp timeserver, not random ones (to pre-answer if someone want to say that it's intrusive ...)

272d95f0f1 base-files: remove rdate integration, add busybox ntpd init script and server list in /etc/config/system The rdate applet proved to be too unreliable to obtain the current time on boot: - public time servers are rare and often unreachable or overloaded - rdate does not daemonize, it needs a network connection the moment it is started, leading to race conditions - the /etc/config/timeserver configuration is overly complex and there is no reliable way to disable rdate invocations - the time protocol as specified in RFC 868 is considered obsolete This commit adds an init script /etc/init.d/sysntpd which starts and stops the busybox ntpd accordingly. The builtin ntpd can be disabled by either disabling the init script, removing the symlink to busybox or by clearing the timeserver list in /etc/config/system.
