At one point, I was using NTPD on my server to maintain time across server systems. We’ve moved everything to an external time source and I went back to disable the NTPD server in the UI. It went down, but came back when the system was restarted! The UI still shows it off, but the ntpd is running on the system. Any idea how to get it to persist better? Usually, I’m used to fighting the other way and having the UI settings reapplied on restart, but this is the opposite.
It has a few CVEs against it, so I do want it turned off while we aren’t using it. I have a TS-EC2480U with the latest firmware update.
Regarding the issue you described, our internal technical team has conducted multiple tests but has been unable to successfully reproduce the same situation in our environment.
If you require further assistance, we recommend that you open a support ticket via our service portal so we can perform a more in-depth diagnosis of your specific system environment.
I want to say there was another discussion a couple months ago between @OneCD and someone else regarding trying to disable NTPd. I think the conclusion was that you can’t or it was very difficult.
