Hello. The ntpdc queries timeout every time on the NTP version ntp-dev-4.2.7p411 (compiled myself). Looks like the type 7 packets are blocked from localhost but I don't know why.
The same queries work on the 4.2.6 (distribution version, Debian). I test it like this - here's a query result on 4.2.6 root@raspberrypi:~# ntpdc -c kern pll offset: -0.024376 s pll frequency: -49.895 ppm maximum error: 0.0039681 s estimated error: 8.071e-06 s status: 2001 pll nano pll time constant: 4 precision: 1e-09 s frequency tolerance: 500 ppm And the query on 4.2.7p411, with the same configuration file root@raspberrypi:~# ntpdc -c kern localhost: timed out, nothing received ***Request timed out The ntpq command works on both versions. The NTP documentation says that ntpq uses a different packet type to communicate, type 5 and ntpdc uses type 7. What might be the reason for type 7 packets being blocked from localhost? root@raspberrypi:~# cat /etc/ntp.conf driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats sysstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day link enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day link enable filegen sysstats file sysstats type day link enable server tempus1.gum.gov.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server tempus2.gum.gov.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server ntp1.tp.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server ntp2.tp.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server vega.cbk.poznan.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server ntp.itl.waw.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server ntp.elproma.com.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server ntp.certum.pl iburst burst minpoll 10 server 127.127.20.0 mode 0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 prefer fudge 127.127.20.0 flag1 1 flag2 0 flag3 0 time2 0.600 restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict -6 ::1 _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
