From: Garrett Wollman To: Yar Tikhiy Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: bin/32816: ntpd/ntpdc incompatibility across the last two versions Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 18:47:00 -0500 (EST) < said: > If the older ntpdc is used to talk to the newer ntpd or vice versa, > a packet format error occurs. That's while no such incompatibility > has been announced. ntpdc is never compatible across versions of ntpd, except by fortuitous coincidence. Dave Mills has made it clear that ntpdc's mode 7 control messages are specific to the version of ntpd. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
