Also, maybe you could add a NOTE: in the 'temporary Internet connection'-section that many providers block ports < 1024 on dynamic ip hosts, which makes it impossible to run the ntpd-server, since replies never reach your machine. I think that this documentation was pretty much needed indeed, nice job! / wouter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
