Hi,

I agree with Bob, that ntp should interact with the network.

Also,aren't most of people using firewalls anyway?

John, how would you listen only LAN by default? There are multiple different router types and manufactors and not all of them share the same IP range. And there are also people who run ntp on lsptops and who do not always connect from same location/with same router.


PS. Sorry for typos. My phone is having weird bug, which does not show wbat I am writing in this emaill.

If
you install ntp then there is an expectation that it will behave like
ntp and interact with the network.

Polling the pool servers and offering yourself as a server to the
entire
world are quite different things. Ntp should listen on the LAN by
default but there is no reason for it to listen on the LAN by default.
If you want to put it on the Internet as an open timeserver it would be
a one-line config change.
