Package: ntpsec
Version: 1.2.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: t.duehr...@gmx.net
Dear Maintainer,
I am using the following setup:
[tdu:debiantutor] ~
grep -E '^(server|pool)' /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf
pool 0.de.pool.ntp.org iburst minpoll 7 maxpoll 14
pool 0.nl.pool.ntp.org iburst minpoll 7 maxpoll 14
pool 0.pl.pool.ntp.org iburst minpoll 7 maxpoll 14
It appears each of the "pool" directives causes four servers to be
picked, for a total of 12 servers.
If the internet connection goes down and is reestablished after all
the "reach" registers have gone to 0, another eight servers are shown
in the ntpq billboard. They remain even after several hours.
This unduly increases the traffic imposed on the network.
See attached file "ntp-transcript.txt" for the session transcript.
