On a computer with a blocked fan, thermal limits kick in and slow the world down. When this happens ntp cannot cope, and refuses to even try and keep any sync. Result, no sync what-so-ever. :-( A nicer failure mode would be to just sync time once every 1024 seconds. Not pretty, but, better than nothing. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
