Hello, Mouse, talking about monlist, you say:
> (b) I really do not like shutting off a useful facility just > because it's being abused and a lot of other people don't/can't > prevent the abuse any other way. Just for curiosity: Have you ever used other ntp-server's monlist for anything particular? Why do you consider that facility useful? Personally, I'm rather concerned about my privacy. When I'm using a service and that service tells other people that I'm using it, and does so without my explicit consent, I don't like that. I feel my privacy rights are being violated. In particular, a service that gives out the fact I'm using it not only to specific third parties somehow known to the people behind that service - but to anybody? Wearing any color hats? Anywhere out in internet land? Just ask the question, and you'll get the answer? I'm not a lawyer. But in my understanding, in my country, Germany, such behavior would even be illegal. And I tend to think: rightly so. So, I would have thought monlist an anachronism, something that may have been appropriate in the early days of the internet, but no longer has been for more than a decade now. But I don't want to rush to conclusions. Again: Why do you consider monlist useful?
