Hello there! I just joined the pool. After years of being an NTP fan I finally got a server that is appropriate, 72.36.170.170.
Looking at my server usage and reading list discussion, it's clear that many pool participants are implementing some sort of personal protection against abusive clients. That's a reasonable and necessary thing, but it carries a risk: those clients are going to go looking for another server in the pool. If 75% of the pool is protecting itself, the other 25% is going to be screwed. Has there been any thought towards building a common group defense? I guess it's hard, given the difficulty of dissuading a bad client from sending you UDP packets. While I'm here, another question. Wayne Schmitt's ntpscripts are great for monitoring things. Is there anyone working on cleaning these up and automating them for general easy use? http://www.schlitt.net/scripts/ntp/index.html _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
