Well, either you never checked ntpdate, or you have forgotten what you found - the first paragraph of the "Description" section in the html-man page says what it does (it was already quoted in this thread btw), and it's a long shot from "believe the first answer" - ntpdate never did that. Sntp on the other hand does indeed seem to do just that, which makes it basically useless in my opinion. And if you give it multiple servers to query, where the first one happens not to respond, it will stupidly keep on trying it 5 times and then give up, without ever attempting the others - worse than useless. (This was tested with 4.2.2p4-RC2.) --Per Hedeland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
