NAME

timednet.conf − time daemon network configuration file. 

SYNOPSIS

/etc/timednet.conf

DESCRIPTION

/etc/timednet.conf describes the configuration of a site’s time daemon network.  It is examined by the startup script /etc/init.d/timed to determine if and in what manner in.timed should be started. 

EXAMPLE

The following example describes the format of /etc/timednet.conf:

Field 1:
The hostname of the host that this entry pertains to.

Field 2:
Determines whether are not a time daemon should be started on the host whose name appears in field 1. Legal values are yes, YES, and no.  If the field contains YES then in.timed will be started in trace mode. 

Field 3:
Determines whether in.timed will be started in master or slave mode.  Legal values are master or slave. 

Field 4:
A list of networks (see /etc/networks) that in.timed will exclusively monitor (see the -n option of in.timed).  If more than one network appears in the list, each network must be separated by a colon (:) with no intervening white space between the colon and the network names.  If there are no networks to monitor, then the field must contain a dash (-). 

Field 5:
A list of networks (see /etc/networks) that in.timed will ignore (see the -i option of in.timed).  If more than one network appears in the list, each network must be separated by a colon (:) with no intervening white space between the colon and the network names.  If there are no networks to ignore, then the field must contain a dash (-). 

Lines beginning with a pound sign (#) will be treated as comments and ignored. 

NOTES

Network interfaces specified in /etc/if.ignore will also be ignored by in.timed.  Whether both files, either file, or neither file exist on a system, it is the system administrator’s responsibility to ensure a appropriate configuration.
