If only the human scale is required, how about ntpdate run via cron or its platform-specific equivalent. On the laptop, it would try to get time from the ISP's NTP server(s). On the other systems it would try to get time from the laptop. So, when the laptop is connected to the ISP network, it gets time from there and the clients simply time-out their ntpdate commands. Then when it is on the little network, the laptop's attempt at ntpdate is the one that times-out and the clients get time from the laptop.
rick jones -- The glass is neither half-empty nor half-full. The glass has a leak. The real question is "Can it be patched?" these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
