I noticed yesterday morning that my time dispersion suddenly tightened up on my server... Odd...
http://www.rabel.org/ntp/graph_dispersion.png (Sorry for the jump at the end, that is when I restarted it earlier this morning.) At first I thought maybe NTP switched to a different server, so I logged in and noticed a couple weird things: remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ===================================================================== -imap.mail.rice. 10.64.99.17 2 u 432 512 377 1.768 -0.049 1.766 -clepsydra.dec.c .GPS. 1 u 309 512 377 46.961 -0.280 0.005 +ntp.okstate.edu .GPS. 1 u 334 512 377 23.210 0.064 0.375 -ntp.tmc.edu 10.22.24.11 2 u 360 512 377 11.921 0.522 0.318 *india.colorado. .NIST. 1 u 28 64 377 20.556 0.051 0.730 +ntp.quintex.com .CDMA. 1 u 383 512 377 22.333 -0.145 0.041 utcnist.colorado.edu (aka india.colorado.edu) dropped its poll time down to 64s? But also the refid changed from ACTS to NIST? I just restarted my NTP server this morning, and for some reason it's still keeping that one server @ 64s? Is there something I can do to dig deeper and find out why it's doing that? I didn't make any changes to my config or to my server. The server lines in NTP look like: server ntp.rice.edu maxpoll 9 server clepsydra.dec.com maxpoll 9 server ntp.okstate.edu maxpoll 9 server ntp.tmc.edu maxpoll 9 server utcnist.colorado.edu maxpoll 9 server ntp.quintex.com maxpoll 9 _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
