Hi!

I have a problem to configure properly a ntpd server for local network. I
followed a handbook example, but maybe I didn't understand something well. My
aim is to configure a ntpd server, allow to synchronize computers from local
network according to this server and hide mentioned ntpd server for all
computers out of local network.


My ntp server is:

>uname -a
FreeBSD hilbert.chtf.stuba.sk 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0: Wed Feb 11 
18:23:18 CET 2004     root at hilbert.chtf.stuba.sk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HILBERT  
i386
>


ntpd server is allowed in rc.conf with no additional flags:

xntpd_enable="YES"


Its IP is 147.175.67.128, network is class B: 147.175.0.0 with netmask 
255.255.0.0. My ntp.conf: 

server public.stratum2.server1
server public.stratum2.server2
server public.stratum2.server3
driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift
# default to ignore
restrict default ignore
# allow my net to configure, byt not act my setting (according to handbook):
restrict 147.175.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 notrust nomodify notrap

Server synchronize itself well, but when I try query from 147.175.64.41, i 
obtain: 

> ntpdate -vq 147.175.67.128
23 Feb 07:54:52 ntpdate[6145]: ntpdate 4.1.0-a Fri Feb  6 09:54:31 CET 2004 (1)
server 147.175.67.128, stratum 16, offset 0.301619, delay 0.02689
23 Feb 07:54:52 ntpdate[6145]: no server suitable for synchronization found

ntpd is already running for several days, so it si synchronized and -- i think
-- ready to serve.

Can you help me with appropriate 'restrict' rule sets? No firewall is running 
here. 

Thanks, Jozef.
