That's because ntpd disciplined the clock to amortize that offset. Once this has happened, the clock is now operating at the 90ms offset. Isn't this what you wanted? -- Steve Kostecke <[email protected]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
