I have created my own /etc/ntp-my.conf and changed startup script / System/Library/StartupItems/NetworkTime/NetworkTime to use this file. BTW Apple uses /var/run/ntp.drift file to store drift value. This is stupid because contents of /var/run is lost after reboot. I've changed this to /etc/ntp.drift. I am mostly disappointed by Mac. (Almost) perfect visual design, lack of engineering. Misunderstanding of NTP is very clear but not the only example of this. > > I was forced to make the file immutable in order to make sure ntp kept > doing what I wanted.

Could all this information be added to FAQ?.. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
