Precision of -6 seems to be common. It's used by ntpdate for example. Not sure about -7. I suspect the number one reason for getting requests from privileged ports different than 123 is NAT. If there are two NTP clients behind NAT using port 123, one of them will have to get a different port. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
