Ted, I can't comment on the restrict and trust lines. [Question to the experts: how essential are such lines for an end-client?] To tell if NTP is working, try the command: ntpq -p after NTP has been up for a while and see if it gives a "reasonable" output. If you don't know what "reasonable" is, consult the documentation. Perhaps someone will post a link here explaining how to interpret the results. If not, one possibility is to check here: http://toi.iriti.cnr.it/xntpdoc/debug.html David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
