Does anyone have Once stabilised, ntpd should not drift significantly in one hour, assuming you haven't meddled with maxpoll, which, unfortunately, many people do. It will typically be polling every 20 minutes and an hour drop out won't even cause it to declare the sever down. Either you haven't told us the whole story, e.g. it may be a lap top that goes into a different power management state for that less than an hour, or you need to find out why you are not reaching a poll interval of 1024 seconds when you are connected. PS your subject is confusing as the most common question from Windows users is about running with no real servers, which might also be considered standalone. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
