Hi list, the question is a bit of topic, but has someone a dial-in server with ntpd running ? we have noticed that 'ntpd 4.2.4p6' seems to have problems accepting connections from ppp0.
Lets understand your problem a bit better. You have a machine which is connected to the net via ppp. That machine is listed as an ntp server on another machine. That other machine is having trouble syncing to this machine. What evidence do you have that the the problem is "accepting connections"? Do you have a tcpdump which shows that the ntp packets are being dropped by the server (ie not being processed ) (up the poll interval to 4 on the outside machine so you can see the packets over a reasonable period of time)
i "fixed" the problem with a kill -1 in ip-up.
I have no idea how a kill -1 ( of what?) would fix anything.
did someone see such problem before ? re, wh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
