IIRC openntpd runs on all these systems, but reference clocks are supported only on OpenBSD. chrony supports FreeBSD and Linux (both with refclocks), but not OpenBSD. ntpd supports everything. >> chrony does not work on windows. ntpd is what what tends to ship with >> linux distros. chrony gives better time discipline but has a smaller >> user group. > > Well if I use Chrony with a GPS unit on something like a raspberry pi, > would I be able to be apart of the NTP pool or is it limited to NTPD > users only? Yes, you can do that. The pool project page recommends ntpd, but it's not a requirement. There are quite a few openntpd and chrony servers in the pool, including a couple of my own. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
