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.

Linux implementation (LinuxPPS)
If you wish using a
PPS
(
Pulse Per Second) source on your GNU/Linux system you may try using my implementation. :)
It was developed for Linux
2.4
series but recently I decide to drop
2.4
series and support only
2.6
series.
All documentation is at
https://wiki.enneenne.com/index.php/LinuxPPS_support and the code is at
https://gitweb.enneenne.com/?p=linuxpps;a=summary and is updated to Linux-2.6.17-rc5.
You can find also an old and deprecated version of the softyware at
https://ftp.enneenne.com/pub/projects/linuxpps/ but you are warned in using that code.
Currently there is a
mail list on LinuxPPS where you can find other people interested into the project.
