Subject: ntp server didn't support mssntp
Package: ntp
Version: 4.2.4p4+dfsg-8lenny3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Current version of ntp in debian do not support MS SNTP extension.
This extension is needed by Windows workstation in order to trust ntp
source from AD server.
Lately the Samba project made great improvement in the next version of
Samba: Samba4 which is supposed to be a real replacement to Microsoft
Active Directory. In order to act completely as an Domain Controller the
Samba4 server must be able to act as a ntp server with the MS SNTP
extension.
Version 4.2.6 of ntp (released on 12/12/09) now include patches for
allowing this extension but must be complied specifically with the
option --enable-ntp-signd to effectively build this extension.
Building this extension do not mean that it wil be active by default, in
fact it has to be opted in by adding the following directive to
ntp.conf:
restrict foobar mssntp
Where foobar is either default or a network address.
