It was always my impression that xntpd would slew the clock unless the time was off by a certain non-trivial amount (and if it was off by much more than that xntpd would punt). I am pretty sure those values are much, much larger than the tenths of milliseconds shown in the example trace. rick jones -- If you do not carry on, you let the bastards win. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to raj in cup.hp.com but NOT BOTH... - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
