If so, how best to configure that? Left to itself ntpd is supposed to do that, and there is anti-hopping code in newer versions -- see clock_select() in ntp_proto.c and the description of mitigation in http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/prefer.html -- Ronan Flood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> working for but not speaking for Network Services, University of London Computer Centre (which means: don't bother ULCC if I've said something you don't like) _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
