The version string is _NOT_ major.minor.increment(patch), it is actually protocol_version.major.minor(increment) 4.2.2p1 == NTP protocol-4 v2.2.1 4.2.6p4 == NTP protocol-4 v2.6.4 There _have_ been significant changes between these two releases. Versions prior to "4.2.6*" are no longer maintained by the NTP Project. -- Steve Kostecke <[email protected]> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
