What exactly do you think is wrong there? > > In this case, the text cited above is located at > http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-algo.htm Actually the quote also says " (see Figure 3)." (http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-algo.htm#FIG-NTP-INIT) As the file name http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/ntp35f-init.png might suggest, the version used was xntp-3.5, and I apologize for the lack of a legend on the X axis. As the sources of the FAQ also say: <imagedata revision="2000-09-28" fileref="ntp35f-init.png" format="png"> it's obvious that this was almost sevel years ago. However, as HP still ships xntpd (AFAIK), that numbers may be valid still.
