[Bug 1077003] Re: ntp ignores config option "interface ignore all"

Hi,

my expectation was that the ntp process does not open a port on any interface but localhost.
The use case is to use the ntp daemon to permanently synchronize the time with a central time server, but not to serve the time to any other host.

The interface option is defined in the nat.conf man page. However, when
I double checked it today to add a link to this bug I saw that this was
the manpage for precise (where ntpd works as I expected it). In the man
page for lucid there is no sign of the interface option.

So I guess this option was added somewhere between lucid and precise by
the ntp developers. Sorry for not double checking this before opening a
bug...

I marked the bug as invalid.

Regards,
Michael
