The restrict line is only used when your computer is an NTP server. The ntpd has two roles - as a client to set the local time, and as a server to provide time to other local network hosts. By default it doesn't provide the latter function. Since Eric couldn't get his local time set, then the restrict option is not applicable. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
