Yes i have the recommended authentication enabled via trustedkey etc. (see config example above) - only the minimal standard options are in use. "mandatory" seems like it is a "must", but the host is not reachable, a ntpdate -d multicastserver says "no server suitable for synchronization found" But it works fine as daemon. > I believe this is what the person wants disables, although he hasn't > explained why. The way back to the multicastserver can have a false delay, that would falsify the time, also this can trigger an unwanted dial in. In the most cases the way back is not reachable. mfg Wilhelm _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
