==== Setup Restrict values in ''ntp.conf'' ====
**see:** [[http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2014/06/linux-ntp-server-client/|http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2014/06/linux-ntp-server-client/]]

Modify the ''/etc/ntp.conf'' file to make sure it has the following two restrict lines.

<code>
# Permit time synchronization with our time source, but do not
# permit the source to query or modify the service on this system.
restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
</code>

The first restrict line allows other clients to query your time server. This restrict line has the following parameters

  * noquery prevents dumping status data from ntpd.
  * notrap prevents control message trap service.
  * nomodify prevents all ntpq queries that attempts to modify the server.
  * nopeer prevents all packets that attempts to establish a peer association.
  * Kod – Kiss-o-death packet is to be sent to reduce unwanted queries

The value -6 in the second line allows forces the DNS resolution to the IPV6 address resolution. For more information on the access parameters list, Please refer to documentation on “man ntp_acc”
