Is 'name' the name of the interface?
I used interface ignore and then bound ntpd to specific interfaces on LVS servers. This was because virtual interfaces were continuously created and destroyed on those servers, ntpd had to continuosly run after the change and sometimes it got... "confused" and eventually stopped serving time. Since I wanted the service to be provided only on specific addresses, I forced ntpd to ignore all interfaces but the loopback and the ones where those addresses were bound to. Hope this helps. Why do you want to know exactly? Ciao -- bronto _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
