This is seriously bad, but I do get why they thought OpenNTPd was necessary (bad/perfectible code in the other implementations). Maybe I'll check that at home

Maybe I'll check that at home (where I replaced FreeBSD's ntpd with OpenNTPd).
- NelsonMinar 8y agoYeah the stock old ntpd had a lot of unused code and various security problems over the years. It makes sense OpenBSD would replace it. Just a shame they didn't do it completely. I think that describes a lot of OpenBSD tools; you're trading off some functionality for very good security. There are better NTP implementations now. Chrony is great, it's the default in Ubuntu now. NTPsec is coming along although I haven't tried to use it myself. Also good ol' ntpd is greatly improved. https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/ https://chrony.tuxfamily.org/ https://www.ntpsec.org/ https://www.ntpsec.org/
