Re: libntp

[Joe McAlerney <joey () SiliconDefense com>]

libntp is needed by the IDMEF XML plugin (--enable-idmef).  If you wish
to enable it, you will have to install libntp from www.ntp.org.  See the
README file in the IDMEF XML plugin package under Snort's contrib
directory for more information.

Kind Regards,

-Joe M.
