NTP servers are always (give or take version and permission considerations) acceptable to SNTP clients. An SNTP server behaves the same as a stratum 1, NTP server, supporting only client/server and broadcast modes. It must only be used where an NTP server would be stratum 1 (i.e. early (pre-Windows 2003) versions of w32time cannot legally act as servers). Earlier version of the SNTP spec permitted more association modes. Earlier versions didn't allowed impending leap seconds to be signalled. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
