It's not drastic. It's just to be on he safe side. Imageine you sync to just one server and theat one fils or even worse, suddenly has a wrong time. You're screwed then. When using multiple servers ntp can detect servers with a wrong time and will ignore it. If they all have the right time it will choose the accuratest one. >> If anyone has any other ideas. let me know > > rdate was mentioned on a posting a couple of months ago. rdate or ntpdate should only be run once at boot time. *Never* run it periodically from cron or your system time my jump and this will confuse some daemons and applications.
