This is pretty much off topic except that it has to do with connecting a

But I know there are some good hardware people on this list so...

I've seen this where touching the metal shield on the outside of the

Tapping the end of the cable against the metal produces more small

Historically, ntpdate was run once as a part of the ntpd init script,
It still is, on SUSE anyway. You can't reliably start up ntpd without
running ntpdate (or the equivalent) first, so there's about as much
argument for leaving it in the ntpd script as there is for separating
it.

Thanks for the detailed and helpful feedback Volker and to everyone
else who replied.
I'll do some testing and see if I can salvage the scanner.

1. if the drift is small enough between the frequent ntp restarts

No. This is still incorrect.

I'm pleased to report that time on that box is no longer drifting. So I
won't need to implement one of these options, and will give some thought
to the no answer to point 1.

Also run the server behind an IPCop or similar with snort running.
