1) I'm trying to impress my girlfriend by typing loads of unnecessary
restrict statements in my ntp.conf.
2) I'm desperately trying to get rid of a compulsive obsessional
disorder, and I thought this USENET group would be helpful.
3) I'm new to NTP, and after having read through a few tutorials, I'm
vaguely thinking about security (like : limiting access to local
services), so I thought I asked on this list.
Choose your answer :o)
Cheers from the rainy South of France,

Niki,
(1) is a great goal! I think you fail on (2).
For (3), on the LAN here, I've never used any security restriction on NTP,
not on any of my portable PCs used on public networks. I may have been
protected, though by being behind NAT routers, and I've never set up any
port forwarding rules for UDP packets on port 123. On the other hand, I
don't have any untrustworthy users on that LAN either.
Cheers,
David
