+OpenNTPD is a FREE, easy to use implementation of the Network Time Protocol. It
+provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote NTP servers and can act
+as NTP server itself, redistributing the local clock.
+
+OpenNTPD was primarily developed by Henning Brauer as part of the OpenBSD
+Project and gets released as a base component of OpenBSD every six months.
+
+The portable version is maintained by Brent Cook and is mirrored on Github and
+available as periodic tarball releases. Contributions are welcome to both the
+OpenNTPD core and the portable build framework.
+
+This build script will try to create the user and group '_ntp', that is
+necessary to run openntpd.
