#404 BusyBox ntpd version error

[Bill Rosenberg]

I am running Alt-F 1.0 and using the built-in ntpd as a server so that I can provide time to other clients on my network. Many clients (e.g. Windows) are not able to sucessfully get the time from the DNS-323. I ran a Wireshark trace and see when Windows 10 sends an NTP request indicating v3, the busybox server returns an incorrect, reserved version number of 7.

Flags: 0x3c, Leap Indicator: no warning, Version number: reserved, Mode: server
00.. .... = Leap Indicator: no warning (0)
..11 1... = Version number: reserved (7)
.... .100 = Mode: server (4)

This is the same issue as described in the following bug.

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5120

A patch is listed in the above bug report to fix the issue. Can you check if the Alt-F busybox package needs this fix and incorporate it?

[João Cardoso]

Yes, the patch applies.
Please try the attached busybox package. You have to manually use "rcntpd restart" after rebooting.
Worked?

[Bill Rosenberg]

Yes this worked. A valid version number is now being sent and clients are sucessfully getting the time. Many thanks!
