It seems that you simply WANT to read that he needs a GPS. It was only stated that he wanted to sync his system to a reference that is named ntpgmtaceb. Apparently a system on the LAN, when reading the ntpq output he posted. There never was any requirement to get sync to something else than that ntpgmtaceb. The sync needed to be within 1ms, but unfortunately the path to system to sync to has a delay of 29ms. This is a bit strange for a LAN. What is also strange is that this delay sometimes is a lot lower. Now this is the info we work from. The addition of GPS as a requirement or solution is entirely by you. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
