First, given that ntpdate is about to be deprecated in favor of the new SNTP Client, while this discussion is interesting at face, I see us using this information to guide the bahavior of the sntp code and don't expect to see any changes to ntpdate (especially since there is no maintainer for ntpdate). Without thinking about this much, I agree 100% that -u should mean "not from port 123". I can see cases where one *might* want this behavior for -q but I'm not certain it should be forced for -q. I wonder quite a bit more why we would want this behavior for -d. For either of these last two cases it should be trivial to also supply -u if that is what was really desired. -- Harlan Stenn <st...@ntp.org> http://ntpforum.isc.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
