Hello there, I have used NTP on my Linux computers for years and I am used to the fact that nptd after some time will increase the poll interval to 1024 seconds.
Now I have a desktop PC (running Ubuntu Linux) that synchronizes against a Debian server. My PC's offset is less than a microsecond but the poll interval is stuck at 64 seconds. I wonder why this is. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Daniel PS: Attaching some output from ntpq On the desktop pc: $ ntpq -c peer remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *server 141.40.103.101 3 u 60 64 377 0.122 0.500 0.110 $ntpq -c rv assID=0 status=0664 leap_none, sync_ntp, 6 events, event_peer/strat_chg, version="ntpd [email protected] Tue Jan 6 15:51:34 UTC 2009 (1)", processor="i686", system="Linux/2.6.24-20-generic", leap=00, stratum=4, precision=-20, rootdelay=48.706, rootdispersion=42.709, peer=31965, refid=192.168.1.254, reftime=cdea2bdb.bd109bdf Mon, Jun 22 2009 18:12:11.738, poll=6, clock=cdea2d2b.0b06f0ad Mon, Jun 22 2009 18:17:47.043, state=4, offset=0.500, frequency=-30.177, jitter=0.122, noise=0.075, stability=0.010, tai=0 On the Debian server: $ntpq -c rv assID=0 status=06f4 leap_none, sync_ntp, 15 events, event_peer/strat_chg, version="ntpd [email protected] Mon May 11 20:13:01 UTC 2009 (1)", processor="x86_64", system="Linux/2.6.27.9", leap=00, stratum=3, precision=-20, rootdelay=15.951, rootdispersion=67.235, peer=5337, refid=78.47.136.197, reftime=cdea1549.07434ab4 Mon, Jun 22 2009 16:35:53.028, poll=10, clock=cdea1609.986f7690 Mon, Jun 22 2009 16:39:05.595, state=4, offset=2.330, frequency=1.229, jitter=1.985, noise=0.803, stability=0.167, tai=0 _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
