+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Several steps need to be taken to properly configure the NTP daemon.

1. First, create or update the file /etc/ntp.conf.  Several
   example configuration files can be found here:

     /usr/local/share/examples/ntp

2. Now xntpd can be started with:

     /etc/rc.d/xntpd start

   Or to start 'xntpd' at every boot, add it to pkg_scripts in
   /etc/rc.conf.local.

#vi /etc/rc.conf.local

Add as following :

pkg_scripts="xntpd"

Edit /etc/ntp.conf as following :

server 3.my.pool.ntp.org
server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org

This will affect on your next reboot. To start xntpd simply type :

#/etc/rc.d/xntpd start

Upgrading MySQL to MariaDB

BACKUP - Always backup your data at the first place. - Save it to the proper place so that if anything goes wrong, you can export back your data. mysqldump -u root -pYOURPASSWORD --all-databases > allbackup.sql & If you don't want to wait and you know that the current database is big, just put the process at the background so that you can monitor the process using top :) - Backup your current configuration files cp /etc/my.cnf /tmp/my.cnf.bak 2.
