Incidentally, that server is heavily overloaded and is unlikely to be a good choice compared with a nearby stratum 2 server. As a general principle leaf nodes shouldn't be using stratum one servers. For non-critical, personal, systems the servers provided by any competent ISP should do. > "ntpq -p" command, but I get the error: "No association ID's > returned". I'd assume that it has failed to read the configuration file and has started without any servers. I think it might also happen if you fail to resolve the domain names, which might be a service dependency issue. With regard to the subject, these tools cannot tell you the accuracy of the clock, they can only give you information about the quality of the time measurements that are being made. In particular, providing you are getting offsets scattered evenly around zero, the clock's variation is likely to be a lot less than the offsets you are seeing, but there may be a systematic bias in the time that is not reflected in the statistics. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
