      On the NTP server page…  What does loopback do?

      TIA

        Binds the daemon to the loop back  address so that you have to use port forwarding in the same way as the recommended set-up  for the dns-server package. Just allows you to use different ports and such with port redirects on your interfaces.

        Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
