Thanks, David and Martin. As I understand it, TOD here refers to a cable modem making a TCP or UDP request to port 13 on a server. Is there any good reason for inetd "to be switched off as a security measure"? Could the TOD service be provided stand-alone, instead of within inetd? Perhaps not.... Of course, a more relevant question could be: Why aren't the cable modems using NTP? My cable modem is a Motorola SB5101E, by the way. http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/product_documents/533177-001-a-SB5101E-6-2006.pdf http://download.modem-help.co.uk/mfcs-M/Motorola/Drivers/sb5101/Manuals/User-Guides/ Thanks, David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
