No. v4.2.4 is properly detecting (and rejecting) a peer loop. v4.2.0 is not. The NTP version numbers are not the major.minor.point that most people expect. Rather they are protocol_version.major.minor with an added 'pN' for point releases. So the difference between 4.2.4 and 4.2.0 is more than a couple of point releases. It is, in fact, 2 entire development cycles. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project http://support.ntp.org/ Public Key at http://support.ntp.org/Users/SteveKostecke _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
