I agree that under normal circumstances trusting a wrong server is not good. I will explain my use case a bit. The setup is a blade server, which has one master blade server which runs the ntp server. All other blades sync the time from this master. The master itself gets it time from a higher ntp server. The problem is when the master says that it is not suitable for synchronization, the client blades shouldn't reject it. If they, do all the blades will end up with different time. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
