Orphan Mode allows a group of ntpds to autonomously select a leader when no legitimate time sources are reachable. Possible uses include the "synchronization" of "time islands" and the provision of a "clock of last resort" for a LAN which normally has access to legitimate time sources. My answer to the OP presumed that application was not a "time island". Obviously, if this is not the case, there is not need to configure remote time servers. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
