I have a network from 4 to 8 PC's of which the time needs to be synchronized. There is no external reliable time source available. In principal all PC's should all have a time around the wall clock time before being connected on the network. In any case the initial time deltas should be less then 5 minutes.
If all the PC's are booted, they should after a (short) time be synchronized. The initial time adjustments don't need to be slewed. If there is one PC with a bad clock, I want to avoid that the other PC's get the time of the bad clock. All this should be configured in such a way that no administrator intervention is required. The network should determine itself with which PC's they want to synchronize the time. I know that the time drift in such networks can be considerable, but this is not really an issue. I'm more concerned about the fact that when booting all the PC's at the same time all the PC's get a synchronized time which is reasonable, even if there is 1 PC with a bad clock and this within a reasonable timeframe (less then 10 minutes). Is it possible to configure NTP in such a way that the requirements listed above can be met? Thanks a lot for the advice. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
