Hello to all you mighty programmers, hackers and USENET members,

   I am trying to implement an API for ntpd by which the user can specify
which servers he wants his machine to update time from. The application
however uses a single .conf file. Are there any limits specified for the
addresses that can be given in the .conf file? Also could you please help
me out as to how I can read the IP addresses already present in the .conf
file and how to update these values based on the user's choice? I'm also a
novice to programming, so could you please help me out by not making your
answers too technical?


Regards,

Arpith
