4.2.6 does support only binding to specific interfaces, using a config option called (IIRC) "nic" or "interface". Before that, it's possible to get ntpd to ignore traffic on certain interfaces, but it will still bind them. (I guess that's what that argument does?) What's the big problem with having it listen on a couple unnecessary interfaces, though? -- Matt Nordhoff _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
