I understand the fact that it's far from perfect ;-) In general is does give me a overal reduction in spurious traffic, which is still useful since both my uplink an downlink traffic is metered. In actual fact, last week was one of the few times when I was able to get rid of one abusive client by a combination of 'limited' and 'kod' - they were taking about 6 times my total average ntp traffic... though I agree it's not often that this would work. In that instances, it wasn't the used of rate limiting that triggered the very high polling rate, but apparently rebooting my router did it. Anyway, I suppose my point wasn't to say that 'limited' is the best thing since sliced bread, just that the monitoring system should not penalise my score if I do see fit to use it. I don't think either of these ntp.conf entries are unreasonable for a pool server: | discard average 5 minimum 2 or | discard average 9 minimum 2 Cheers Geoff _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
