Hi everyoneI was looking for detailed information about differences between ntpdate and ntpd and have found this: "Finally, since ntpdate does not discipline the host clock frequency as does ntpd, the accuracy using ntpdate is limited." Since both, ntpdate and ntpd used adjtime() kernel function to adjust system clock, what this phrase means? What is it intend to say ?

ntpd "steers" the local clock much the way you would steer an automobile to stay in your lane on a highway. At each poll interval, it compares the local clock to the servers clocks and makes corrections to the local clock frequency.
Ntpdate, OTOH, gets the time from a server, sets the local clock and exits. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
