Configuration: 5.3-STABLE. I have 2 DHCP interfaces (a bit strange, but it does not matter). Right after dhclient i have the next situation:
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING> inet 192.168.0.114 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:e0:81:61:1b:fd media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 rue0: flags=108843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 00:10:60:e9:33:2c media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier Note that rue0 has address 0.0.0.0 Now i'd like to sync time on the box using ntpd -q, and i got --- quote Nov 29 21:08:09 pbxbox ntpd[71729]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Wed Oct 20 14:36:02 EEST 2004 (1) Nov 29 21:08:09 pbxbox ntpd[71729]: no IPv6 interfaces found Nov 29 21:08:09 pbxbox ntpd[71729]: bind() fd 7, family 2, port 123, addr 0.0.0.0, in_classd=0 flags=8 fails: Address already in use Nov 29 21:08:27 pbxbox ntpd[71729]: no reply; clock not set --- /quote I've made some research and found the source of problem. It is in ntp_io.c See lines 522-526. They blacklist addresses of local interfaces. But hack_restrict has this code fo find restrictions list entry(ntp_restrict:327): if (addr == 0) { rlprev = 0; rl = restrictlist; } else { it finds first entry of list (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0) and marks it as blacklisted. Theis means we restrict all packets. I think the fix will be if ((addr == 0) && (mask == 0)) { Any comments from gurus? PS Sorry for a bit long message, i just want to make the things clear. -- gonzo _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
