Thanks - what about the case where, eg, a system is operating as a local master (local refclock or orphan) and gets disconnected from reality for "long enough" that a big correction needs to be made? The reason I bring this up is that I'm under the impression that while we can *expect* that once we are in state 4 we will stay there, I think there are cases where we can leave state 4. My point here is that I'm not sure we're all on the same page with this discussion, and I want to point out that "sometimes things happen". -- Harlan Stenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ntpforum.isc.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
