That will do little good and maybe some harm. ntpd reads time stamped input. Even if this sits in a buffer unprocessed it's OK because the critical work, the stamping is done inside an interrupt handler. Running a process at RT priority when it does not need to can take away CPU time from other processes and harm overall system performance. If you are concerned about offset the solution is to use a good local reference clock Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
