More like 10, and it depends on what level of accuracy your require. it roughly halves the error every hour (assuming a 16 second poll interval-- slower with longer polls) > > Is this true? Speed is not one of ntpd's virtues. chrony is much faster, if you are running linux or bsd ( and because of that is also much more accurate in general-- ie it follows the changes in clock rate caused for example by heating due to variable useage much better) (chrony does not exist for Windows). > > Thanks > > Chip _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
