OK - I'll defer to others about whether 'disable auth' is supposed to have this effect or it's a bug, but I think it's clear that they aren't actually changing your config as ntpdc commands may do (they are mode 7 IIRC). I believe that what you see is the equivalent of other systems having you configured as "peer" rather than "server". --Per Hedeland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
