This is what I consider a minimal NTP.CONF: server x.x.x.x maxpoll 6 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift enable auth The "maxpoll 6" forces ntpd to update every 64 seconds. "enable auth" prevents unauthorized people/systems from messing with your system over the network. That simple configuration is all you really need in almost all cases. - Mooron _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
