The problem is really that people throw lines into their config file which have no idea whatsoever what they do. (This is even true of distribution maintainers). Why in the world were those restrict lines ever there in the first place? Similaraly why are those local servers there in the first place? (That one I blame the distro maintainer's for since they are the ones tht have have the localclock in there often). A distro's conf file should simply have three pool servers listed and that is it, and most people would be happy). > > ############################################ > server 10.10.16.65 iburst > server 10.10.16.64 iburst > > # excepting the servers from more drastic restrictions > restrict 10.10.16.64 noquery > restrict 10.10.16.65 noquery > > # allow local queries > restrict 127.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 > > # now close the door > restrict default ignore > > driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift > ############################################ > _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
