I used to build from source, but for our CentOS 7 and 8 servers I have been
using the Terabithia RPMs with no problems. The downside is that, like
Malcolm Hunter mentioned, I have subsequently applied some local patches -
sent to the list - so that meant rebuilding the RPMs.
I'm now looking at the Terabithia package for the first time in years.
My first reaction is, wth?

Installing the xymon package on my server has disabled chronyd and
installed (but not started) ntpd. why?!
Really? I've just run a test on a local server, and neither chronyd was
disabled nor was ntpd installed. after installing xymon, chronyd kept running
as it was before, and the ntpd package was not present before or afterwards.
I'm running CentOS 7
#~> uname -r
3.10.0-1127.10.1.el7.x86_64
I've restored the system to its prior snapshot, and performed the 
install again. This time around, it installed the ntp package (including 
the ntpd service but not enabling it), and did not disable chronyd.

I'm again saying, "WTH?", but now for a different reason.

I guess I'm going to need to add a line to my documentation, "After 
installation of the xymon package, confirm chronyd is still present. If 
not, rinse and repeat."


This is what yum told me it was going to do:
