David, but how would I find out which servers to highly trust and which ones to not? Are any graphs or other stats on the past history of a given server available? These could include the server's uptime, its deviation (amount of dev, frequency of dev,...) compared to the majority of others in its pool (or, relative to another arbitrary server (/usr/bin/ diff like capability)) , etc. The remote ntpd (of the server) already must be constantly building/ updating some such knowledge in its internal memory structures. If yes, any way to make it dump such knowledge, say, to stdout (or to the log) of the client? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
