This is a bit exagerated. > As a result, in my view, it is important to have "notrap" and/or > "noquery" on each restrict line in your ntp.conf. A properly chosen default restriction will, in many circustances, eliminate the need to clutter your ntp.conf file with redundant restrict lines. If you are serving time to others it may be considered unfriendly to block them from viewing information about your ntpd. Would you trust a time source that you could not inspect? BTW In case anyone is interested ... here's a sample ntptrap message: | Trap 1 associd 10260: | config=1, | authenable=1, authentic=1, srcadr=2001:4f8:*:*:*:*:*:*, | srcport=123, dstadr=2001:*:*:*::2, dstport=123, leap=0, hmode=3, | stratum=2, ppoll=6, hpoll=6, precision=-18, rootdelay=1.984, | rootdispersion=25.223, refid=204.123.2.5, reftime=0xcaae2227.4466ef93, | org=0xcaae26f2.4897206a, rec=0xcaae26f2.56bca9cd, | xmt=0xcaae26f2.3ace3ee8, reach=0x0, unreach=1, timer=2, delay=0.000, | offset=0.000, jitter=0.000, dispersion=15937.500, keyid=2942406510, | filtdelay= 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00, | filtoffset= 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00, pmode=4, | received=1838, sent=3190, | filtdisp= 16000.00 16000.00 16000.00 16000.00 16000.00 16000.00 \ | 16000.00 16000.00, | flash=0x0, ttl=0, | peer_var_list="config,authenable,authentic,srcadr,srcport,dstadr, \ | dstport,leap,hmode,stratum,ppoll, hpoll,precision,rootdelay, \ | rootdispersion,refid,reftime,org,rec,xmt,reach,unreach,timer, \ | delay,offset,jitter,dispersion,keyid,filtdelay=,filtoffset=, \ | pmode,received,sent,filtdisp=,flash,ttl,peer_var_list,flags, \ | hostname,valid,initsequence,initkey,timestamp,signature,trust" | | =============== | | hostname(209.0.0.0) = "unknown.Level3.net" | Wed Oct 3 10:34:26 2007 hostname.my.domain trap#1 peer 10260 [2001] \ | unknown.Level3.net event_reach -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
