It's more complicated than that. When I set up a NTP server, I tell it what servers to use. If you just send my server a packet telling it a bogus time, your packet will get ignored. If you control the network, you could intercept the packets I send to the servers I'm using and return forged packets. You still have to get past various heuristics. For example, ntpd won't step the clock by more than 1000 seconds. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
