I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he meant that, if you are really paranoid about the port being open, you can configure your firewall to only allow traffic in for a short period after each outgoing poll. Of course, on an internal network, blocking port 123 also makes it difficult to remotely diagnose NTP problems on that machine, although you can also block such access in ntp[d].conf. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
