I have tried to make sense of the documents and man pages for these commands, but still am alittle confused.
I have run xntpd for about 6 hours, and have checked the ntp.drift file and the tick & frequency values that come from adjtimex --compare. There seems to be no correlation between these numbers. I thought that ntp.drift was the 'drift' of the system clock from real time, in parts per million. 1ppm = .0864 seconds/day Which numbers do i use to set my system clock, The value of ntp.drift or the tick & frequency? How should the first value of /etc/adjtime be calculated? No machines in my network will have a permanent connection, and only 1 of them will have part time(2 hours/day) connectivity. Or am i looking at this all wrong and the /etc/adjtime file is for correcting the rtc? I would like as accurate a time server that I can get, within the limits of my network. Insights, comments, or instructions will be greatly appreciated. -- Walter L.
