16 seconds is the maximum value that the kernel can keep as esterror and maxerror. It would automatically set the STA_UNSYNC flag if the application didn't set it. Normally, if the clock is well synchronized, it takes a few days for that threshold to be reached. I assume you are interested in much shorter intervals. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- To unsubscribe email chrony-dev-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
