I didn't see anything that would allow ntp to runaway. Fritz Wuehler wrote: > # Sample /etc/ntp.conf: Configuration file for ntpd. > server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org > server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org > server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org > server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org
If you use a more recent version Dev 4.2.7p288, (instead of 4.2.4p7 from May 2009); You can replace those 4 lines with something like: pool asia.pool.ntp.org preempt iburst restrict source nomodify NTP will automatically add servers (up to maxclock), and as it drops some, it will add more; eventually, you will likely end up with a clique of servers that have lower offset to you, and are also close in time to each other. > multicastclient > broadcastdelay 0.008 > #keys /etc/ntp/keys > #trustedkey 65535 > #requestkey 65535 > #controlkey 65535 I don't think multicastclient will work without Auth? (unless you disabled auth on the commandline?) {This is likely only useful, if you have several ntp clients / servers on your LAN that you want to try and keep synced together, even when internet access is lost.} e.g. I use something similar to this on all PCs / Devices # ALL (Clients and/or Servers) tos cohort 1 orphan 11 restrict default limited kod nomodify notrap restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict source nomodify keys "/etc/ntp.keys" # e.g. contains: 123 M YOUR_MD5_KEY trustedkey 123 manycastserver 224.0.1.1 manycastclient 224.0.1.1 key 123 preempt multicastclient 224.0.1.1 key 123 preempt broadcastclient -- E-Mail Sent to this address <blackl...@anitech-systems.com> will be added to the BlackLists. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
