The ntp.conf(5) man page isn't what I would consider well-written, so it's a bit difficult understand how rules are applied. For example, if I put: restrict default noquery nopeer limited restrict local_network/mask nomodify restrict peerhost nomodify restrict 127.0.0.1 Does that mean: - Provide only rate-limited, non-peering time service by default. - Provide unlimited time service to the local network and also let the local network make read-only mode 6/7 queries. - Peers are given the same treatment as the local network. - Let localhost do anything. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
