Re: Bridging firewall and ntpd

Dear Mr. Henderson,

From your answer I understand that to use the ntp daemon the interfaces
still need an IP address. Unfortunately, a GPS unit is not available or
desirable, so it seems to me that I will have to do it without a
calibrated time, if there is no other option.
