Sounds likely. ACLs like that are bad practice, but some people can get overzealous. Hopefully they're only temporary until the hosts running NTP have been further secured. http://blog.cloudflare.com/understanding-and-mitigating-ntp-based-ddos-attacks It is probably a good idea to call and complain to your ISP if this is happening to you. As others mentioned, the OP might be able to sync time off their ISP's NTP servers (if provided). Or go with a GPS time source as John Pierce suggested. First DNS attacks thanks to dns recursion, now NTP attacks due to time servers... ;) > > JD > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 // _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
