freebsd-src/etc/ntp.conf
Ian Lepore 9f5b5f5a4d Update ntp.conf to use the ntpd pool feature.
Our previous ntp.conf file configured 3 servers from freebsd.pool.ntp.org
using 3 separate 'server' config lines.  That is now replaced with a single
'pool' line which causes ntpd to add multiple servers from the pool.

More than just making the config smaller, the pool feature in ntpd has one
major advantage over configuring 3 separate servers from a pool: if a server
that was added using a 'pool' statement provides bad time (initially or at
some later date), ntpd automatically discards it and configures a new
different server from the pool without needing to be restarted.

These changes also add a 'tos' line to control how many pool servers get
added, a 'restrict source' line that is required to allow ntpd to add new
peers from the pool, and it deletes a 'restrict 127.127.1.0' line that does
nothing and should never have been there (127.127.1.0 is not a valid IP
address, it's a refclock identifier).

# Don't forget to enable ntpd in /etc/rc.conf with:

# Set the target and limit for adding servers configured via pool statements

# Ntpd automatically adds maxclock-1 servers from configured pools, and may
# add as many as maxclock*2 if necessary to ensure that at least minclock
# servers are providing good consistant time.

# The following pool statement will give you a random set of NTP servers
# geographically close to you. A single pool statement adds multiple
# servers from the pool, according to the tos minclock/maxclock targets.
# See http://www.pool.ntp.org/ for details. Note, pool.ntp.org encourages
# users with a static IP and good upstream NTP servers to add a server
# to the pool. See http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html if you are interested.

# The option `iburst' is used for faster initial synchronization.

# To configure a specific server, such as an organization-wide local
# server, add lines similar to the following. One or more specific
# servers can be configured in addition to, or instead of, any server
# pools specified above. When both are configured, ntpd first adds all
# the specific servers, then adds servers from the pool until the tos
# minclock/maxclock targets are met.

# By default, only allow time queries and block all other requests

# The "restrict source" line allows peers to be mobilized when added by
# ntpd from a pool, but does not enable mobilizing a new peer association
# by other dynamic means (broadcast, manycast, ntpq commands, etc).

# If a server loses sync with all upstream servers, NTP clients
# no longer follow that server. The local clock can be configured
# to provide a time source when this happens, but it should usually
# be configured on just one server on a network. For more details see

# The use of Orphan Mode may be preferable.
