I'll try to pre-emptively answer the next question, whcih is likely to be "why would they do that?" The answer is security. On our network, we follow the principle of least privelege. That is, we enable or allow only that which is required to perform a particular function, and nothing else. Some people call this a "default deny" permissions model. ntpq can leak information about your internal network structure that could be useful to an attacker. It is also another bit of network- enabled code that could have buffer overflows or other vulnerabilites. ntp (the protocol) functions just fine with without mode 6/7 queries enabled, so they are disabled. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
