ntpd acts at the same time as a server and as a client, it is included
with all linux distiributions and also FreeBSD and other BSDs. Meinberg
has a pre-compiled ntp for Windows. The Windows Time Service included in
windows xp and 7 is a particular interpretation of microsoft of any
standard (not the first one standard that suffers from outrangeous
microsoft interpretations to pervert it). It can get time from ntp
servers, but does not provide clock disciplining, and it can server time
to other clients, but with lots of un-compliances to the ntp protocol.

ntpd is the server.
Scott: OK. Here's what I get from man ntpd:
"The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and maintains
the system time of day in synchronism with Internet standard time
servers."
What I want to do is build a little local net only "standard time server"
The man goes on to say:
"The ntpd program operates by exchanging messages with one or more
configured servers at designated poll intervals. When started, whether
for the first or subsequent times, the program requires several
exchanges from the majority of these servers so the signal processing
and mitigation algorithms can accumulate and groom the data and set the
clock"
So, I essentially want to feed ntpd and its MSoft equivalents.
I found the www.ntp.net site, that apparently has open software to do
this. As I looked further, there seem to be a LOT of so-called primary
NTP servers out there that are quite simply malware sites using NTP to
infiltrate. Yikes. as usual, I go looking for some simple thing, and
find I've whacked the tarbaby another lick... (see Uncle Remus Stories).
Thanks for the input!!!
