Both the current Production (i.e. stable) and the Development versions of ntpd require a configuration file. Some may view this as a bug. Others may view this as a feature. >> I agree that distros could well put in something to undo that and that >> they often do really stupid things (mainly because they do not >> understand things). > > This problem would probably not exist when a good default config file > was shipped by the maintainers.

Anyone interested in reviewing the ./conf directory in the distribution and contributing appropriate sample configuration files for various ntpd use cases (e.g. server, leaf-node pool client, etc.) is encouraged to do so. -- Steve Kostecke <koste...@ntp.org> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
