Uh, your point being? I'm sure your description is correct even though I have no knowledge of that subject (which doesn't seem to be relevant here), and I specifically said that I *didn't* consider Rick a newbie to NTP - based on the very limited knowledge of *that* subject that I have, namely past postings in this forum. Which is why I found his statement surprising, and assumed that I must be misunderstanding it. Are you saying that you agree with that statement? Or maybe you can explain how I'm misunderstanding it? --Per Hedeland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
