I assume you're talking about MS Office file formats with this one. And *every* version of Office has read files from previous versions just fine. So the "forward comaptibiltiy" is there. Also, every version of office has been able to save in older versions as well (backwards compatibility, too, although not always by default, which is where a lot of the "issues" came from). This has been true since I've been working in IT (back in the MS Office v4.x days on Windows 3.1). But we're way off-topic here. I guess my basic point is that NTP is in extremely widespread use now (it's in almost every Linux distro), so consideration must be given to the fact that there are plenty of inexperienced people that have to administer the software. Config keyword changes that are only documented in the source code and on a website don't make things easy for someone just trying to get NTP working. I could find no mention of "notrust" in the NTP 4.2.0 changelog. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
