ntpq is a good start. There is at least one other command that can reveal interesting/useful information but I can't retrieve it from my fading memory at the moment. Those systems should NOT be going out of sync!!!!! That they are doing so says that something is VERY WRONG somewhere. Does the problem manifest under all three operating systems?? Do all the machines involved run 24x7? Is the network available 24x7? What are you using for a "master server"? Where does the "master server " get time???? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
