I don't think the SNTP spec says you have to have a proper source of true time. I've looked, and while I don't find any statement to that effect, I do see implications of the opposite: One of the time sources for which there is a code assigned is described as, "uncalibrated local clock used as a primary reference for a subnet without external means of synchronization." The protocol also gives you a means of specifying precision so that an SNTP server could say, "It's UTC 2006-08-17 13:34:01 give or take 2048 seconds" if it wanted. -- Bryan Henderson Phone 408-621-2000 San Jose, California _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
