Hello! I am migrating from Linux workstation to Mac mini (Intel 1.66 GHz). I like most of this computer and this OS. The only thing is really wrong: ntpd performance.
Our three local NTP servers are stratum-2 and their offset usually does not exceed 2-3 ms. First, I have tried "official" way of using NTP on Mac OS X. This resulted in ~600 ms offset after 24h of operation. OK, I have created my own ntp.conf and restarted "Network Time" service. My old Linux box has the same configuration with three local servers. After several hour of operation, Mac mini still has 64 sec. polling interval. At the same time Linux box has reached 1024 sec. Frequency displayed by "ntpq -c rv" is drifting between 6 and 8 all the time... What is wrong with Mac mini clock? Do other Macs have the same instability? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
