ntp is both client and server. The config I posted last night is from a local machine which is a client of the upstream hosts, and acts as a server to our internal hosts. Internal hosts are simply pointed at this server, e.g.: # default is no access restrict default ignore # time server(s) are trusted for time but can't change the config server time.vastsystems.com.au restrict 192.168.1.1 nomodify # local hosts aren't trusted and can't change the config (but can # use this host as a time server) restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrust # localhost can do anything restrict 192.168.1.10 restrict 127.0.0.1 # driftfile /etc/ntp/drift authenticate no As the documentation says, a client is simply a server with no dependents. > I'm also interested in controlling which IPs/interfaces ntpd listens on, any > ideas? I don't think you can do this without patching the source.
