Hi, I'm wondering about the section 5.3.3 on the ntp support web
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers#Section_5.3.3. It says and explains that minimum number of servers to detect one falseticker is four, is that really correct? I understand that four is better for reliability, but from the algorithm description (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/select.html) and my tests with a simulated falseticker it seems that three is enough. Also, while running with two servers might be the worst configuration for ntpd, it still could be prefered over the configuration with only one server by users who would rather have two sources marked as falsetickers and know a problem needs to be fixed than unknowingly follow a bad truechimer. Is it possible to reword that section?
