Hello all

[First, I am using google groups, in the past I was told it was causing hassle 
in terms of formatting but BT have discontinued their news server and I am 
unable to find an alternative - apologies if these messages are not properly 
formatted.]

I am looking for some advice on the RESTRICT parameter.

My configuration file has the following line in it: 

restrict 172.20.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 notrust noquery nomodify nokod

With the above, a server on 172.20.21.11 was unable to poll the time.
I checked on a working configuration and found the below

restrict 172.20.0.0/16 mask 255.255.0.0 notrust noquery nomodify nokod

but I am concerned that the /16 bit is simply making the whole line void which 
would explain why it's then working.

Basically, I need the 'nokod'. For umpteen reasons, I want the NTP server to 
never ban any client on the LAN. But I thought that a little restriction would 
be good practice too.

Could you please tell me if the /16 is indeed required or whether I have just 
made the whole line void?

Thanks for your help!
