I am, by no means, an expert on xntpd, but I have been able to get it to work here. I suggest removing the restrict and see what happens. Reading the man pages, I'm not quite sure whether your setup is doing what you wish to acheive or not. As for not wanting just anyone to synch with you, can't you control that with your firewall? hth On 22 Jan 99, at 12:22, Jeremy Shaffner wrote: > I've been running xntpd on two FreeBSD machines, and they have neither > synched up with the outside ntp servers nor each other.
