However, unless you are using external means to regulate, or discipline, the system (i.e. kernel) clock, ntpd is just following the very clock that it is supposed to be disciplining. If you wish to synchronize the clocks of your three servers then you need to have them following one reference. -- Steve Kostecke <[email protected]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
