Re: ntpd advisory not yet fixed?



Well, I think it's always a good idea to have:

restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict -6 ::1
restrict 127.127.1.0

in ntp.conf, if the server is intended to serve the public Internet.

The issue can not be easily fixed without losing functionality, by the
way.  We (FreeBSD) plans to issue an advisory that disables 'monitor'
feature by default on January 14.
