Fellow time-nuts, As I came back home from my NYC trip, I found a nice little package in the mail. It contained a T-shirt, pens and stickers. This is the added benefit from becoming individual member to the Network Time Foundation. I have made a donation prior to that. What does Network Time Foundation do? Well, they maintain some of the more important software that keep things running, including the NTPD code. Why do I contribute this way? They are grossly underfunded, and this is important stuff. While there are many ways to support the effort, I decided I do have monetary means to do this. It would be good if there where more companies supporting this activity too. Read up on it here: http://nwtime.org Cheers & 73, Magnus SA0MAD

Is the Network Time foundation the only one to have the NTP source code? Is the Meinberg code (for example) a different one?

Hi, Meinberg is an active supporter in maintaining this implementation of NTP and they use this code in their NTP implementations, as obvious from their updates as NTPD updates occurs. The code is there, download it and use it. However, remember that there is folks that need to work on it, and they need to pay their bills to, and that is what in the end this is about. Maintaining this code is grossly underfinanced, despite being a crutial part to so many things. This is why I spend my private money to support this effort. I wish I could convince more companies to contribute, and I try to find ways to provide support for NTF such that NTP and other projects keeps focused on maintaining code rather than working double shifts. You will find Meinberg among the company members of NTF. You will find Meinberg to support in other ways too, as obvious from my travels.

The NTF/UDel NTP reference implementation of RFC-5905 is "open source". Hence NTPsec which is a fork of UDel NTP unaffiliated with NTF*. There are other inter-operable bits of code e.g. chrony (comprehensive) and ntimed-client (incomplete PHK project initiated by NTF). > Is the Meinberg code (for example) a different one? > via: https://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm "The Meinberg NTP packages provide a GUI installer for Windows which installs the NTP service and associated executable programs which have been compiled from the original public NTP source code available at the NTP download page at ntp.org <http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Main/SoftwareDownloads>." *https://www.ntpsec.org/announcement.html "NTF, which maintains the current reference NTP implementation, has declined to participate in these efforts to secure the NTP software"

Is the Meinberg code (for example) a different one? There is a fork of NTP Classic, called NTPsec. It is being more activly worked on than NTP Classic and has many new features like ntpmon and ntpviz. It is readily available over git: https://www.ntpsec.org/ https://github.com/ntpsec/ntpsec RGDS GARY --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary E.
