Because you can set an ntp corrected machine as a broadcaster, therefore reducing the load on the tier 2 servers such as debian maintains by using their pool.debian.org or the tier 1 servers at pool.ntp.org. That way I have 7 machines here, all synchronized to the first or 2nd tier of time servers on the planet. This machine is a slave to my router, it broadcasts to the other 6 machines, so I have all synched and well within a millisecond.
You certainly can, but is that really a use-case that a hypothetical default firewall should service? I don't think so. If you are setting such a thing up you should be expected to punch the requisite holes in the default firewall as part of that work. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
