Sheldon, To the best of my knowledge it binds to all available interfaces, and I never did find a config option to change that behavior. But you can specify in ntp.conf(5) what address(es) it will accept clients on. e.g. if your lan was 10/24 you could specify something to the effect of: broadcast 10.0.0.255 autokey Hope this helps. -- Chris "I'll defend to the death your right to say that, but I never said I'd listen to it!" -- Tom Galloway with apologies to Voltaire To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
