For instance, I use: restrict default ignore restrict chrono.cis.sac.accd.edu nomodify nopeer noquery restrict sundial.cis.sac.accd.edu nomodify nopeer noquery restrict ticker.cis.sac.accd.edu nomodify nopeer noquery restrict 127.0.0.1 server chrono.cis.sac.accd.edu server sundial.cis.sac.accd.edu server ticker.cis.sac.accd.edu -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

It appears the ntp.conf should probably use ntp pools; see: http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers http://www.pool.ntp.org/ Here is what I propose: Configuration Information The following configuration file creates a drift file where *ntpd* stores the frequency offset. It also allows assignment of three random servers from the NTP pool. This will work, however, you will get better results using continent or country zones. See http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers for instructions and a list of zones. Those requiring extreme precision should see the links for Secondary Servers at the above URL. cat > /etc/ntp.conf << "EOF" driftfile /var/cache/ntp.drift server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org EOF I'd like some feedback before committing. Wording suggestions or even 'forget the whole thing'. -- David Jensen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
