Danny,

The recent rewrite of the configuration code allows configuration commands to be given via ntpq. Unfortunately, the programmer maintaining that version is no longer available and a volunteer has not appeared. There is a good deal of neat stuff in that version, but I do not at this time have spare bandwidth.

Hi all,

I've tested a W2k3 box time synchronization by setting the server using
the command line:

net time /setsntp:time.usv.ro
net stop w32time
net start w32time

The fact that you had to stop and start the service indicates how badly
the net time interface was written. It doesn't take much to write code
update information in the registry and then notify the service to go
reread it and act accordingly.

Is this possible with ntpd? I mean, applying changes to ntp.conf and
then tell the daemon/service to re-read its configuration file? I would
really love to see such a feature ... :-)



It's much harder to do with ntpd. Writing and reading registry bits is
easy. ntpd has to deal with a lot of different platforms, but yes it is
one of the things we would like to implement.


If it was working before why wouldn't it work now? I know, that's a
question for Microsoft.

They are still trying to figure out why it worked ;-)


Microsoft is?

Danny
