I suspect this depends crucially on the > thermal behaviour of the computer. I've installed chrony on an eee-pc running ubuntu but the mobile broadband connection is worse than useless. Dns seems to go awol or just doesn't happen. I can access sites by ip but even then have rtt from 0.5s through 2s. I can also manage 3Mbit/s file transfers over this high latency link, 50% faster than my 2Mbit/s wired broadband? Bind now installed but not yet setup and it doesn't address the latency problem. I've also installed chrony on ubuntu desktop but guess for this experiment it's better on one of the NetBSD servers. v1.23 is in pkgsrc so I'll swap one of servers to that (I've run mixed chronyd and ntpd before without problem and can always switch back). cheers David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
