I am sure there are some NT users "out there" who are willing to test this release. > See Bacchus, Gemini and Hydra here: > > http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/daily_ntp.html Looks fine so far IMHO. Vista is really a PITA for timing. Did you try to switch off the Multimedia Timer stuff (remove the -M switch from the NTPD command line)? This seems to have helped until some other application turns it on (like Quicktime or some multimedia content stuff on a web page you look at with IE) ... > I expect the performance will remain unchanged as these are all syncing to > my local GPS-locked stratum 1 server. Right, as far as I can tell the performance-related parts of ntpd have not been touched between 4.2.4p4 and 4.2.4p5. > Pity about Vista. Yes, let's hope for SP2 ... I really would like to get in touch with someone at MS who is responsible for the timing stuff in Vista's kernel. > Many thanks for making this update available. Thanks for testing, please keep the feedback coming!
