ntpd is a convenient source of multicast packets for testing purposes. When I add
broadcast 224.0.1.1 to my ntp.conf, ntpd sends a multicast packet with TTL 1 every 64 seconds. Just as expected. However, when I explicitly specify the TTL as in broadcast 224.0.1.1 ttl 1 it sends packets with TTL 32. Trying a few other numbers confirms that it multiplies the specified TTL by 32. That is not expected. (I also don't recall this happening the last time I tried it, but that may have been years ago.) Is this simply a bug in ntpd? 7.3-PRERELEASE from yesterday. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
