[SOLVED] NTP-Server & Firewall port settings:

I ended up deleting the gufw rules & then using a small run once config file which setup just the basics for ufw & of course ntp. Then I added my incoming rules via gufw ('cause its so easy).

It works.

Now when I boot I wait for ~ 8 seconds instead of 90 seconds whilst ntp sorts itself out.

Here is a copy of my script called my_ufw.conf.sh

#!/bin/sh
#######################################################################
# Run this script only once, to setup your UFW - uncomplicated firewall
#######################################################################

# disable firewall
ufw disable

# reset all firewall rules
ufw reset

# set default rules: deny all incoming traffic, allow all outgoing traffic
ufw default deny incoming
ufw default allow outgoing

# open ports for Transmission-Daemon
ufw allow 9091
ufw allow 20500:20599/tcp
ufw allow 20500:20599/udp

# open port for GIT
ufw allow 9418/tcp

# open port for network time protocol (ntpd)
ufw allow ntp

# enable firewall
ufw enable

# list all firewall rules
ufw status verbose

Add the following incoming rules, using the In drop down menu option in gufw:

993 TCP = IMAP
143 TCP & UDP
110 TCP = POP3
22 TCP = SSH
9418 TCP = GIT
