It is generally a BAD IDEA to change the default values of MINPOLL and MAXPOLL. NTPD will change the polling interval to the value within those limits that is best suited to the existing situation. When ntpd is first started all the servers will be polled at intervals of MINPOLL seconds. As ntpd gains confidence that it knows what time it is and which are the best servers, it will increase that polling interval. If conditions (primarily network delay times) change, it will adjust the polling interval for best performance. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
