I'd say it's not meaningful, as when the refid is a "name" it's one of the refclock names (GPS, MSF, PPS etc). If the refid is an IPv4 address you could do a PTR lookup, then an A lookup on the resulting name as a cross check. That appears to be what the xntp version of ntpq -p does, but not explicitly; I think the A lookup is done internally by some library routine. BTW Danny, your mail to the ntp:questions list isn't showing up in the newsgroup. -- Ronan Flood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
