Package: ntp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@syn-net.org Dear Maintainer,
the ntpd configuration option `ntpsigndsocket` is mentioned in the Samba Wiki "Time Synchronisation / Configuring Time Synchronisation on a DC": https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Time_Synchronisation I had / have a hard time finding any documentation about it. It is definitely missing in the ntp.conf(5) man page, but also in the official(?) docs (so ntp-doc is most probably also affected): * https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/miscopt.html * https://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/WebSearch?search=ntpsigndsocket&scope=all The option does exist in the ntp source though: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-ntp-team/ntp/-/tree/master/html (search for `ntpsigndsocket`). Oh, and while writing this bug report I found an entry in the chrony.conf(5) man page: https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/chrony/chrony.conf.5.en.html Can we use this in the ntp.conf too or did I miss something? Thanks very much for maintaining ntp!
