This was discussed a few months ago on sugar-devel. There's a concern that NTP could be abused to reset the system clock of stolen laptops back in time, thus preventing the expiration of an existing activation lease. Of course, one could also use the date command and hwclock to do the same effect, so the extra precaution of disabling ntp really only makes sense for deployments that take away root access. -- Bernie Innocenti Sugar Labs Infrastructure Team http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Infrastructure_Team _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
