Disable Time Sycnronization/Time Server

Post by yodabug »

Hi,

I would like to be able to disable this server but cannot see a way to do it within the gargoyle interface.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

J

As it isn't a common use case it is not exposed to the UI
You can
uci set system.ntp.enabled=0
uci commit system
/etc/init.d/system restart

Thank You Lantis. That seemed to have worked just fine. After reboot no port 123 connections in my main firewall.

Is this a permanent change insofar as it will stick even if I press save changes on the time interface webpage?

Because the web interface shows time server that same as when it was enabled, although, from my firewall connection monitor I see no connections to any IP on port 123 so I know the changes DID work.

Thanks.

Yes I think this is one of the rare situations where saving the relevant settings page won’t obliterate the change you’ve made.

Not entirely sure it would survive a sysupgrade though.
