You are talking about an inside job and neither NPT authentication nor any other software based tool is able to do much about that. If you are already inside, there are easier and more direct ways to steal than messing with system clocks. I deal with an organization where the correct time is modestly (in terms of what NTP can do) important. It is important to them that all systems are within about 0.25 seconds of the real time. The local division I support has three systems set up as NTP servers and a stand alone GPS NTP box to provide time for all the division client systems. The three NTP servers get their time from the local GPS NTP box as well as other GPS NTP boxes and CDMA NTP boxes located at other corporate sites hundreds of miles away on the private corporate network and additionally from several public NTP servers on the Internet. Spoof that. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
