Collection of RPM packages I build for my own use or my friends, of vague use to the public; also experimental stage for official OBS packages

This package is based on the package 'mksh' from project 'shells'.

mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn
shell (pdksh), a Bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar
to the original AT&T Korn shell; mksh is the only pdksh
derivate currently being actively developed. It includes bug
fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a modern,
robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
mksh has UTF-8 support (in substring operations and the Emacs
editing mode) and, while HEAD corresponds to OpenBSD 4.8-current
ksh (without GNU bash-like PS1 and fancy character classes),
adheres to SUSv4 and is much more robust. The code has
been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed, standards compliance
added, and several enhancements (for extended compatibility
to other modern shells – as well as a couple of its own)
are available.

NTP, the Network Time Protocol, is used to keep the computer clocks synchronised. It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote NTP servers and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local clock.

This is an alternative implementation of the NTP software, made by the OpenBSD project. It makes use of privilege separation, only implements a subset of the NTP protocol, and IN THIS PATCHED VERSION _does_ adjust the rate of the clock.

Unlike xntpd, it provides privilege separation and the ability to not listen on remote-accessible sockets for improved security.

lity to other modern shells – as well as a couple of its own)

Incompatible changes from the upstream version:
* The file /etc/mkshrc is considered and read before $ENV is
processed (so ${ENV:-~/.mkshrc} ought to _not_ source it).
