noselect is correct.

The time delta between the machines under test will. of course, be affected by network conditions between them and the monitor and their time sources. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
