While not strictly a security function, the Autokey protocol provides means to securely retrieve the current or updated leapsecond values from a server.

 			
<tt>logconfig configkeyword</tt>

 			
This command controls the amount and type of output written to the system <tt>syslog</tt> facility or the alternate <tt>logfile</tt> log file. All <tt>configkeyword</tt> keywords can be prefixed with <tt>=</tt>, <tt>+</tt> and <tt>-</tt>, where <tt>=</tt> sets the <tt>syslogmask</tt>, <tt>+</tt> adds and <tt>-</tt> removes messages. <tt>syslog messages</tt> can be controlled in four classes (<tt>clock</tt>, <tt>peer</tt>, <tt>sys</tt> and <tt>sync</tt>). Within these classes four types of messages can be controlled: informational messages (<tt>info</tt>), event messages (<tt>events</tt>), statistics messages (<tt>statistics</tt>) and status messages (<tt>status</tt>).

-				
Configuration keywords are formed by concatenating the message class with the event class. The <tt>all</tt> prefix can be used instead of a message class. A message class may also be followed by the <tt>all</tt> keyword to enable/disable all messages of the respective message class. By default, <tt>logconfig</tt> output is set to <tt>allsync</tt>.

Configuration keywords are formed by concatenating the message class with the event class. The <tt>all</tt> prefix can be used instead of a message class. A message class may also be followed by the <tt>all</tt> keyword to enable/disable all messages of the respective message class. By default, <tt>logconfig</tt> output is set to <tt>=syncall +sysevents +sysstatus</tt>.

 				
Thus, a minimal log configuration could look like this:

-				
<tt>logconfig=syncstatus +sysevents</tt>

+				
<tt>logconfig =syncstatus +sysevents</tt>

 						
This would just list the synchronizations state of <tt>ntpd</tt> and the major system events. For a simple reference server, the following minimum message configuration could be useful:

-				
<tt>logconfig allsync +allclock</tt>

+				
<tt>logconfig =syncall +clockall</tt>

 				
This configuration will list all clock information and synchronization information. All other events and messages about peers, system events and so on is suppressed.

 			
<tt>logfile logfile</tt>

 			
This command specifies the location of an alternate log file to be used instead of the default system <tt>syslog</tt> facility. This is the same operation as the <tt>-l </tt>command line option.
