Yes, you are right. Sorry about not giving any update yesterday. I checked this source code yesterday which made it clear for me: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/networking/ntpd.c#n2180 and http://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/networking/ntpd.c#n2355 The globals are pretty ugly, though, but choices ... choices ... Either way, since I have spent a couple of hours before realizing it, I think it would be beneficial to briefly extend documentation. It may sound trivial for people familiar enough with "ntp", but for me it was not. Usually, in networking, servers and clients are different things, not rarely significantly. You can call me silly or any other way that you like, but it would have helped me to have a few more words about the usage of this option. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
