Author: cperciva Date: Tue Dec 5 09:22:14 2017 New Revision: 326565 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326565 Log: Make EC2 instances use Amazon's NTP service for time synchronization. Since Amazon provides NTP servers within their network, this should be far superior to using the default NTP pools; and since the service is provided by Amazon there's very little risk in enabling it by default. (If someone is able to compromise Amazon's NTP servers and exploit them to attack EC2 instances, they would almost certainly be able to compromise EC2 instances even without ntpd running...) MFC after: 1 week Relnotes: EC2 instances now keep their clocks synchronized using the Amazon Time Sync Service (aka. NTP).
