Hi.

I read this article ISC NTP reflection attack linkthis morning.

The article suggests adding the following to the ntp.conf file:
disable monitor
to disable this type of attack and information leak.

Will this change affect the sync to Clear found at the top of the ntp.conf file?

If yes, then is there something we can do to ensure we aren't affected by this type of attack?

Thanks in advance.

    The default set up of the firewall does not allow external queries to your ntp server (it only allows back in related and established connections).
