Thanks for your response, Steve. [Steve] Are you asking "is the development release stable enough to use"? [Dawood] Yes. I do like to know which version of NTP is suitable for long term Orphan mode "time islands". AND... >From the source: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/assoc.html#modes Where no associations for other servers or reference clocks are configured, the orphan stratum can be set to 1. I noticed the Orphan mode "time islands" working with the below configuration file. ntp.conf ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ALL 6 nodes configured with "tos orphan 1" stratum because NO associations ## for other servers/external sources -or- ref clocks are configured!! driftfile "C:\NTP\etc\ntpd.drift" keys "C:\NTP\etc\ntpd.keys" trustedkey 1 tinker panic 0 tos orphan 1 broadcastclient broadcast 39.95.255.255 key 1 Please share your thoughts. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
