Johannes Kauffmann d04c39d753 ntpd: switch service type from forking to simple
Type=forking means systemd waits untill the main process, /usr/sbin/ntpd
in this case, has exited. However, the ntpd daemon does not seem to call
fork() or vfork() and runs endlessly untill killed. Eventually, this
causes systemd to trigger a timeout, and the ntpd service is killed. All
the while, "systemctl status ntpd" shows "activating (start)" instead of
"active (running)". This is fixed by switching Type=forking to
Type=simple.

Reading ntpd(8) shows that the "-n" option requests ntpd not to fork, so
also use that to be safe.

Finally, there is no need anymore to keep a pidfile around.

meta-networking
===============

This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related
packages and configuration.  It should be useful directly on top of
oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded.  It should be primarily useful
to the following groups:

      - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
        bridge / switch).

      - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
        anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)

Dependencies
------------

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
branch: master

For some recipes, the meta-oe layer is required:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
subdirectory: meta-oe
branch: master

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
subdirectory: meta-python
branch: master
