ntpd Server Log Level
-
Is there any way to increase ntpd's log level? Like to "logconfig =all"? The webconfigurator is extremely limited as far as any logging options for ntpd goes. The only logging it offers is peer.
I don't care if I have to manually edit config.xml to get'r done. If I knew what to add in the ntpd config section...

Well. After I figured out how to have pfsense set the ntpd logging to "logconfig =all" (a little pfsense hacking...) I discovered that it was being set to "logconfig =syncall +clockall +peerall +sysall" which is pretty much "=all".
What bought this on is that I thought I remembered when I was running an ntpd server on one of my Linux boxes it logged client requests, but now I think I was mistaken.

@blankman if your looking to see what clients are talking to your ntp, you can use the ntpq mrulist command and also monstat will give you some overall numbers, etc.
But this is a realtime thing, and isn't a log
old way was with ntpdc -c monlist, but that has been deprecated for quite some time..

@johnpoz Thanks, yeah I was aware I can see it real time, I was looking for logging. Firewall rules with logging enabled works too but IMO the service itself should do it.
