One can still use hwclock to set a hopefully good enough system time before ntpd startup: The ntpd daemon likes to comfortably start already well in phase. And one can also choose to disable the ugly eleven minutes mode, via config or patch. When I power-up my computer in the morning, hwclock routinely sets the system at some few milliseconds of UTC. The ntpd daemon then slews that quite quickly, and never had to step. Looking at peerstats, first poll today morning had offset -7.2ms, yesterday morning -1.4ms, and the day before -0.9ms. Nights become a little bit colder. ;-) Serge. -- Serge point Bets arobase laposte point net _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
