The man did say "carrier class" .. not "small webhost for four families and dog". You're talking multiple mailservers + filtering gateways / appliances etc, clustered .. rather tough to do that with one pizzabox 1U running a linux that's not updated in years and configured with webmin. And have you used / deployed any of those devices to claim they don't support NTP? Or whether that's a bigger constraint than an underpowered linux box? :) On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 7:48 PM, todd glassey <tglassey@earthlink.net> wrote:
Yes William, but realize that was an "easiest method" solution. There are any number of others as well.
The point is that integrating an appliance type functionality is pretty easy if you bother to take the time.
What I really wanted to point out is how many of the devices dont allow authenticated NTP meaning they are worthless from an evidence perspective, something that we as network engineers are constrained by as well.
