If you are using versions older than the curent stable release please contact your OS vendor / packager / aggregator for support. It should be pointed out that the "version numbers" (e.g. 4.2.6, 4.2.4, and 4.2.2) distort the real magnitude of the differences between the releases. The "version number" is formatted as protocol_version.major_version.minor_version(incremental_version) 4.2.2 == NTP-4 v2.2 4.2.4 == NTP-4 v2.4 4.2.6 == NTP-4 v2.6 4.2.6p3 == NTP-4 v2.6.3 The stable release ChangeLog contains 950 entries between 4.2.2 and the current stable release; 864 of those entries are between 4.2.4 and the current stable release. -- Steve Kostecke <[email protected]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
