I'm not the person who wrote about m0n0wall earlier, but I'm running it on a Soekris net4801. After I joined the pool, I found that I needed to reset the state tables on it every month or so, but I didn't actually look at them to see if this was actually related to ntp. It could have been lots of other things going on. I haven't had to reset since the new pool DNS system went into action, but it's really too early to tell. m0n0wall is really really small (6MB) and does not include ntpd on it. However, if you are at all comfortable with FreeBSD it is easy to roll your own version of m0n0wall. I haven't tried. I don't think that I would want to run pool ntp server on it, but it could certainly be a server for a local network. With a little configuration of the BIOS on the net4801, I've got a full boot down to 29 seconds. At around 250 USD with three NICs it's far pricier than converting a linksys box, but it's been extremely reliable for many years. -j _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
