Thanks much for the info David. Here is my comments.
I am running XNTP version 4.2.0 as per ntpdc -c version output. ------------------------------------------------------------- C:\>ntpdc -c version ntpdc 4.2.0 fr Oct 17 8:50:07 2003 (1) ------------------------------------------------------------- To confirm that slew mode is not supported in NT, I did the following check. I changed the system clock ahead of 5 minutes and stoped the NTP Servcie. Then executed the following commant. *ntpdate -B ntp01-ams (This would slew the clock instead of default step option)* I got the clear message saying -b option is required for Windows NT version of ntpdate. ---------------------------------------------- C:\>ntpdate -B ntp01-ams Looking for host ntp01-ams and service ntp host found : ntp01-ams.lab.net The -b option is required by ntpdate on Windows NT platforms C:\> ---------------------------------------------- Also I tried changing the registry setting to include -x and -g option. After to that I changed the system timing and started the ntp service. What I saw is withing 10 minutes system clock is changed to ntp server clock in one shot. This is not how slew mode would operate?. Slew mode would take many hrs to correct simple 3 minutes change. Am I correct? Can I conclude that slew mode operation is not available for Windows version of XNTP? Thanks, Sasi. On 7/26/06, David Woolley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I'm fairly sure that it isn't in any later version. The NTP developers generally consider the use of this feature (from the command line "-x") as undesirable. I don't believe it existed in version 3 either, but I don't have such old source close to hand. As far as I know, even the general syntax KEYWORD yes is not used for any option. > What is the best way to confirm that slewalways is configured and working > fine. Firstly, identify the exact version of the software. There are also Windows ports of the Unix strings utility, that you can use to see if the string slewalways appears anywhere in the binary. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
