History

#1 Updated by Davide Principi about 8 years ago

  • Description updated (diff)

The system validator uses ntpq command to query the remote address. ntpq manual page says

It uses the standard NTP mode 6 control message formats defined in Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305.

Probably requests from remote hosts are not authorized.

  • Status changed from ON_DEV to ON_QA
