One option is to install a gps receiver onto one or more of your machines to deliver accurate time to them. The second option is to look into orphan mode, which was designed for your situation. Your problem is probably that you are using more than one of th emachines as the server and they have

Hi all This is just to warn you that there are now some NTP servers around the globe spreading a leap second announcement for tomorrow 00:00:00 UTC (so, basically, in a few hours now). If you didn't take action before the leapocalypse last month, you better hurry now. Ciao -- bronto

att just doesn't have much of a clue, when it comes to Network Time. for years, they had clocks running on NIS+ servers, mainly to keep time in sync on the network devices. The new att ... launched U-Verse, which had insane timing requirements, hence the build of the Anycast ntp servers

Unruh had the correct advice: Buy a (cheap) GPS device for a master clock and propagate the correct time. If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Become a force, develop a reputation, for progress, one of the foundations of Western Civilization. The new BU-353, not the old one you

Exactly so. you can purchase a GPS receiver for well under $100 connect it to a serial port + pps on any of the pc's and have microsecond accuracy in a few hours. This 'master' can then serve time to all other PC's. The systems will then behave for years of unattended use. It is a far more
