Mike, udel.edu NTP is offered as a custom build option in the current astlinux-trunk. By default, OpenNTPd is the time client/server in astlinux. I assume Darrick's latest unofficial trunk builds use OpenNTPd. So, if you have built astlinux-trunk with ntp checked and openntp unchecked in 'make menuconfig' you should be able to make this work, I have not done it, but this interests me. It would be good to 'characterize' your local clock by allowing NTP to create it's own drift file while in contact with a NTP server (takes 60 minutes), before you relocate your box. If your final destination has wild temperature swings then then this drift file may not be of much value, but a good guess should not hurt. Create the /mnt/kd/ntpd.conf as shown below, it should work. Lonnie $ cat /mnt/kd/ntpd.conf # NTPd Config # # default restrictions restrict default noquery nopeer notrap nomodify # permit all access over the loopback interface restrict 127.0.0.1 # # Local Clock undisciplined source # Must be stratum 3 or less for clients to sync server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 3 # # Drift File driftfile /mnt/kd/ntpd.drift # $ cat /mnt/kd/ntpd.drift 149.907 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
