While several people suggested that Jeff use guest/host synchronization, no one ever answered the first question, "is it possible to override the maximum offset PPM?"

There is a known problem with these were the clocks run very fast. I am trying to use ntpd to keep their clocks in sync, but the frequency error offset is exceeding (I think) ntpd's maximum of 500, my driftfile always contains a value of "-500.000". If understand the way this works correctly, if I could get the frequency error offset to represent the real error rate which I believe to be much higher that 500 PPM, then ntpd would be able to keep the clocks in sync, as it is now, it slowly falls behind until it fails to correct altogether. So is it possible to override the maximum offset PPM in the driftfile, or is there a better way to fix this? Thanks, Jeff _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
