- caf 11y agoIn the case of the time daemon, that does not actually seem to be the case. It appears to be a far less rigorous approach than that used by ntpd - basically it looks to be similar to running ntpdate in a loop.
- digi_owl 11y agoSeems to be par of the course for systemd sub projects. Their dhcp client violates various security best practices in the name of speed (the whole thing was reminiscent of the Apple debacle related to iOS wifi). And their DNS client quietly grew a cache susceptible to poisoning. A problem known about and solved for a decade in DNS circles.
- alrs 11y agoI'd be in "eat my hat" territory if systemd was a better logger than syslog-ng.
