<h4>Commands and Options</h4>
<p>Unless noted otherwise, further information about these ccommands is on
the <a href="accopt.html">Access Control Support</a> page.</p>
<dl>
<dt id="discard"><tt>discard [ average <i>avg</i> ][ minimum <i>min</i> ]
[ monitor <i>prob</i> ]</tt></dt>
<dd>Set the parameters of the rate control facility which protects the
server from client abuse. If the <tt>limited</tt> flag is present in the
ACL, packets that violate these limits are discarded. If, in addition,
the <tt>kod</tt> flag is present, a kiss-o'-death packet is
returned. See the <a href="rate.html">Rate Management</a> page for
further information. The options are:
<dl>
<dt><tt>average <i>avg</i></tt></dt>
<dd>Specify the minimum average interpacket spacing (minimum average
headway time) in log<sub>2</sub> s with default 3.</dd>
<dt><tt>minimum <i>min</i></tt></dt>
<dd>Specify the minimum interpacket spacing (guard time) in seconds
with default 2.</dd>
<dt><tt>monitor</tt></dt>
<dd>Specify the probability of being recorded for packets that
overflow the MRU list size limit set by <tt>mru maxmem</tt>
or <tt>mru maxdepth</tt>. This is a performance optimization for
servers with aggregate arrivals of 1000 packets per second or
more.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt id="restrict"><tt>restrict [-4 | -6] default [ippeerlimit <i>num</i>]
[<i>flag</i>][...]<br> restrict source [ippeerlimit <i>num</i>]
[<i>flag</i>][...]<br> restrict <i>address</i> [mask <i>mask</i>]
[ippeerlimit <i>num</i>] [<i>flag</i>][...]</tt></dt>
<dd>The <tt><i>address</i></tt> argument expressed in IPv4 or IPv6 numeric
address form is the address of a host or network. Alternatively,
the <tt><i>address</i></tt> argument can be a valid host DNS
name. The <tt><i>mask</i></tt> argument expressed in IPv4 or IPv6
numeric address form defaults to all mask bits on, meaning that
the <tt><i>address</i></tt> is treated as the address of an individual
host. A default entry (address 0.0.0.0, mask 0.0.0.0 for IPv4 and
address :: mask :: for IPv6) is always the first entry in the
list. <tt>restrict default</tt>, with no mask option, modifies both IPv4
and IPv6 default entries. <tt>restrict source</tt> configures a template
restriction automatically added at runtime for each association, whether
configured, ephemeral, or preemptible, and removed when the association
is demobilized.</dd>
<dd>The optional <tt>ippeerlimit</tt> takes a numeric argument that
indicates how many incoming (at present) peer requests will be permitted
for each IP, regardless of whether or not the request comes from an
authenticated source. A value of -1 means "unlimited", which is the
current default. A value of 0 means "none". Ordinarily one would
expect at most 1 of these sessions to exist per IP, however if the
remote side is operating thru a proxy there would be one association for
each remote peer at that IP.</dd>
<dd>Some flags have the effect to deny service, some have the effect to
enable service and some are conditioned by other flags. The flags are
not orthogonal, in that more restrictive flags will often make less
restrictive ones redundant. The flags that deny service are classed in
two categories, those that restrict time service and those that restrict
informational queries and attempts to do run-time reconfiguration of the
server. One or more of the following flags may be specified:</dd>
<dd>
<dl>
<dt><tt>flake</tt></dt>
<dd>Discard received NTP packets with probability 0.1; that is, on
average drop one packet in ten. This is for testing and
amusement. The name comes from Bob Braden's <i>flakeway</i>, which
once did a similar thing for early Internet testing.</dd>
<dt><tt>ignore</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny packets of all kinds, including <tt>ntpq</tt>
and <tt>ntpdc</tt> queries.</dd>
<dt><tt>kod</tt></dt>
<dd>Send a kiss-o'-death (KoD) packet if the <tt>limited</tt> flag is
present and a packet violates the rate limits established by
the <tt>discard</tt> command. KoD packets are themselves rate
limited for each source address separately. If the <tt>kod</tt> flag
is used in a restriction which does not have the <tt>limited</tt>
flag, no KoD responses will result.</dd>
<dt id="limited"><tt>limited</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny time service if the packet violates the rate limits
established by the <tt>discard</tt> command. This does not apply
to <tt>ntpq</tt> and <tt>ntpdc</tt> queries.</dd>
<dt><tt>lowpriotrap</tt></dt>
<dd>Declare traps set by matching hosts to be low priority. The number
of traps a server can maintain is limited (the current limit is
3). Traps are usually assigned on a first come, first served basis,
with later trap requestors being denied service. This flag modifies
the assignment algorithm by allowing low priority traps to be
overridden by later requests for normal priority traps.</dd>
<dt><tt>mssntp</tt></dt>
<dd>Enable Microsoft Windows MS-SNTP authentication using Active
Directory services. <span class="style1"><b>Note: Potential users
should be aware that these services involve a TCP connection to
another process that could potentially block, denying services to
other users. Therefore, this flag should be used only for a
dedicated server with no clients other than MS-SNTP.</b></span></dd>
<dt><tt>noepeer</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny packets that would mobilize an ephemeral peering association,
even if authenticated.</dd>
<dt><tt>nomodify</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny <tt>ntpq</tt> and <tt>ntpdc</tt> queries which attempt to
modify the state of the server (i.e., run time
reconfiguration). Queries which return information are
permitted.</dd>
<dt><tt>noquery</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny <tt>ntpq</tt> and <tt>ntpdc</tt> queries. Time service is not
affected.</dd>
<dt><tt>nopeer</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny packets that might mobilize an association unless
authenticated. This includes broadcast, symmetric-active and
manycast server packets when a configured association does not
exist. It also includes <tt>pool</tt> associations, so if you want
to use servers from a <tt>pool</tt> directive and also want to
use <tt>nopeer</tt> by default, you'll want a <tt>"restrict source
..."</tt> line as well that does <i>not</i> include
the <tt>nopeer</tt> directive. Note that this flag does not apply
to packets that do not attempt to mobilize an association. </dd>
<dt><tt>noserve</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny all packets except <tt>ntpq</tt> and <tt>ntpdc</tt>
queries.</dd>
<dt><tt>notrap</tt></dt>
<dd>Decline to provide mode 6 control message trap service to matching
hosts. The trap service is a subsystem of the <tt>ntpdc</tt> control
message protocol which is intended for use by remote event logging
programs.</dd>
<dt><tt>notrust</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny packets that are not cryptographically authenticated. Note
carefully how this flag interacts with the <tt>auth</tt> option of
the <tt>enable</tt> and <tt>disable</tt> commands. If <tt>auth</tt>
is enabled, which is the default, authentication is required for all
packets that might mobilize an association. If <tt>auth</tt> is
disabled, but the <tt>notrust</tt> flag is not present, an
association can be mobilized whether or not
authenticated. If <tt>auth</tt> is disabled, but
the <tt>notrust</tt> flag is present, authentication is required
only for the specified address/mask range. </dd>
<dt><tt>ntpport</tt></dt>
<dd>This is actually a match algorithm modifier, rather than a
restriction flag. Its presence causes the restriction entry to be
matched only if the source port in the packet is the standard NTP
UDP port (123). A restrict line containing <tt>ntpport</tt> is
considered more specific than one with the same address and mask,
but lacking <tt>ntpport</tt>.</dd>
<dt><tt>version</tt></dt>
<dd>Deny packets that do not match the current NTP version.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dd>Default restriction list entries with the flags <tt>ignore,
ntpport</tt>, for each of the local host's interface addresses are
inserted into the table at startup to prevent the server from
attempting to synchronize to its own time. A default entry is also
always present, though if it is otherwise unconfigured; no flags are
associated with the default entry (i.e., everything besides your own
NTP server is unrestricted).</dd>
