At the moment, no. Your question could qualify as a FAQ, so it might help in the future to check recent posts or the archives first. > Definitely not a major problem is this isn't possible right now, but > I figure if it's only going to be receiving NTP requests on one > interface, it may as well not listen on the others. The alternative is openntpd (available in ports). Fairly straightforward to set up and use. The caveats are the provided rc script could use some work (see my recent post with the subject of "rc scripts"), there's no logging (ibid), using it may result in occasional "calcru errors" (see my recent post on that subject), and reading the overbrief manpage requires remembering to run "man -M /usr/local ntpd". I did say straightforward, right? ;-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
