Hi,

 

I have a network of devices that will spend time both with and without a
reliable time source. I have designated one as a server. The ntp.conf
is,

 

pidfile         /var/run/ntpd.pid

driftfile       /var/db/ntp.drift

tos minsane 1 minclock 1

disable auth

tos orphan 10

server 10.0.1.20

manycastserver 224.1.1.1

 

The other devices have an ntp.conf file of,

 

pidfile         /var/run/ntpd.pid

driftfile       /var/db/ntp.drift

tos minsane 1 minclock 1

tos orphan 10

disable auth

manycastclient 224.1.1.1

 

Everything works fine when the external server is present. When I kill
ntp on the external server the device configured as a manycastserver
refuses to  believe that 10.0.1.20 is no longer responding

 

$ ntpq -p

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset
jitter

========================================================================
======

*10.0.1.20       LOCAL(0)         5 u  18h  256    0    0.206   -0.243
0.000

 

Is this normal, what do I need to do to get orphan mode to kick in.

 

Thanks,

Neil
