 "Dlink Settles With Kamp Over Ntp Issue")
In a rather tame ending to a very ridiculous issue, networking major D-Link and Poul-Henning Kamp a top level FreeBSD developer have reached an amicable agreement regarding the use of an NTP server that is owned by Kamp. As Dailytech reports:
D-Link began manufacturing routers and other products that require accurate internal clocks, the devices were programmed to call Kamp’s NTP server – an open server that was intended to feed NTP information to lower tier servers. Fortunately, it seems like both parties have defused the situation. The company released the following official statement: D-Link and Poul-Henning Kamp announced today that they have amicably resolved their dispute regarding access to Mr. Kamp’s GPS.Dix.dk NTP Time Server site. D-Link’s existing products will have authorized access to Mr. Kamp’s server, but all new D-Link products will not use the GPS.Dix.dk NTP timeserver. D-Link is dedicated to remaining a good corporate and network.
