You could try increasing (or decreasing?) ADJ_TICK by 5 and see if that helps. It should move the ntpd's frequency range by 500 ppm. I doubt it will help, however. I think stable ofset and frequency pushed to the limit indicates something is very wrong and it's not just local clock being too fast or slow. To me it looks like either the kernel is broken or the reference time is actually based on the local system time. Or maybe something else is messing with the clock, overwriting the ntpd's adjustments. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
