What is OpenNTPD ?

OpenNTPD is a Unix system daemon implementing the Network Time Protocol to synchronize the local clock of a computer system with remote NTP servers. It is also able to act as an NTP server to NTP-compatible clients.

OpenNTPD is primarily developed by Henning Brauer as part of the OpenBSD project. Its design goals include being secure (non-exploitable), easy to configure, accurate enough for most purposes and with source code that can be distributed under a BSD license. Its portable version, like that of OpenSSH, is developed as a child project which adds the portability code to the OpenBSD version and releases it separately. The portable version is developed by Darren Tucker.

We can configure it very simple.
We don't need to reconfigure kernel if we don't using NATD

First add these line below in rc.conf
This will execute a IPFW if server rebooted

[code]#pico /etc/rc.conf

firewall_enable=”YES”
firewall_script=”/usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules”[/code]

Create a IPFW rules files

[code]#pico /usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules
IPF=”ipfw -q add”
ipfw -q -f flush

#loopback
ipfw add 10 allow all from any to any via lo0
ipfw add 20 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
