Hi,
 
I am a new member to au.pool.ntp.org and this is my first post - please be kind. My server reached a score of +5 in a few hours and is now hovering about the 19.7. Hope to be at 20 in the next few hours!
 
My server is a W2K box and I am using an old version of Dilobits YATS32 running as a windows service. I've run this older version for about 5 years now and found it to be a very stable workhorse. It also seems to produce better accuracy than the built-in w32time. I don't know why this is.
 
The downside of YAST32 is it does not log client access - only its own access to other servers. My server is behind an IPcop box running Snort IDS (as well as Guardian). I am only on a 512/128 ADSL connection, so I don't have lots of bandwidth to spare. I have assigned a lower ToS tag to the server so it won't swallow all my uplink speed when I want it myself.
 
So... I am looking for a snort rule to flag abusive clients. Let's call anybody who sets their time more than 10 times in 10 seconds abusive. Once this is in place, I can set Guardian to ignore them and conserve uplink speed even more. I am not very experienced at writing snort rules (never done it before) and am looking for a little help, please.
 
Thanks in advance
James
