I think you are mistaking precision for accuracy. Precision is the measure of the shortest interval your clock can represent. It has nothing (or very little) to do with accuracy. ntptime will show you the estimated error for your clock. Unless you are using a hardware reference clock, the estimated error may be in milliseconds rather than microseconds. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
