Quickfix: Set NTP to restrict default access to ignore all info packets: restrict default ignore
Will this disable the ability for servers to time sync? It seems to me (being a non- *nix person) that this command will effectively render server to server time sync useless? What are my options?
25.10.3.3 Controlling Access to Your Server
By default, your NTP server will be accessible to all hosts on the Internet. The restrict option in /etc/ntp.conf allows you to control which machines can access your server.
If you want to deny all machines from accessing your NTP server, add the following line to /etc/ntp.conf:
restrict default ignoreIf you only want to allow machines within your own network to synchronize their clocks with your server, but ensure they are not allowed to configure the server or used as peers to synchronize against, add
restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrapinstead, where 192.168.1.0 is an IP address on your network and 255.255.255.0 is your network's netmask.
/etc/ntp.conf can contain multiple restrict options. For more details, see the Access Control Support subsection of ntp.conf(5).
