To me it seems the problem they are having, was fixed about four years ago with the introduction of restrict source in 4.2.7p22. Sure if they want to use ntp software before 2010, that they have issues with, and they don't want to use the latest, then I guess they could continue to suffer at their own discretion. If your point was I didn't tell them any of that, point taken: Development 4.2.7p438 2014/04/01 <http://www.ntp.org/downloads.html> <http://archive.ntp.org/ntp4/> <http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ntp-dev/ntp-dev-4.2.7p438.tar.gz> Although if you expect me to explain in every post that thousands of issues / bugs have been fixed, any many features added, over countless newer versions since a few years to decades ago; Might I also expect the person asking questions to mention the version they are using, or I may assume they have already tried the latest version? -- E-Mail Sent to this address <[email protected]> will be added to the BlackLists. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
