NTP users are strongly urged to take immediate action to ensure that their NTP daemons are not susceptible to being used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Please also take this opportunity to defeat denial-of-service attacks by implementing Ingress and Egress filtering through BCP38.

Updating the Copyright Year

• Edit html/copyright.html
• Edit sntp/include/copyright.def
• In A.whatever run make COPYRIGHT
  • If you do a full make then html/copyright.html will get its "Last Updated" field updated, but that will also update all of the autogen stuff.
• Make a ChangeLog entry
• Check in the changes.

On the nightly roll the other files will be updated.
