I know you're trolling, but for the benefit of everyone else, this is a completely different 'rdate' than the one the OP (and everyone else but Sidney Lambe) was talking about. DS

On your system, using ntp, if the box running ntpd goes down you are screwed. If ntpd goes down you are screwed. On my system, all the boxes get their time independently with rdate. It is decentralized. It is far more secure than yours. No. I am not going to read your reply. I already know that you are never wrong. You and unruh. Boring fatheads. Sid

You were much funnier when you suggested an email system that would solve everyone's spam problems. The system had one minor flaw though-- a minor scaling problem. Specifically, it wouldn't scale to more than one user. DS

If ntpd goes down you are screwed. It would be really really nice if you knew even a little bit about ntp. If ntp on his box goes down, the box keeps the correct time to seconds per week or better for a long time. If ntp goes down on the server, then the other servers he has back it up. ntp is far more decenterised than rdate. On rdate if one box goes nuts, then when that box is queried, your computer's time is set to that weird date/time. Then when the next one is queried, the time jumps to whatever time it has, etc. > > On my system, all the boxes get their time independently with > rdate. It is decentralized.

That's one of the many reasons not to use OpenNTPd. http://web.archive.org/web/20050304032724/http://bradknowles.typepad.com/considered_harmful/2004/09/openntpd.html DS |
