Thought people may find this of interest. I mentioned before I used the
prefer keyword on my server and then add 4 other pool addresses. Well I
start getting loghcheck messags saying the PPM was over 512 or
something. So I quickly did a check (edited for space)
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
====================================================================
+66.218.191.215 [..] 2 u 34 64 377 0.314 275.345 60.958
+66.36.239.104 [..] 2 u 19 64 377 24.400 215.636 61.105
*130.236.254.17 [..] 1 u 39 64 377 125.250 227.845 59.225
- -66.226.73.89 [..] 2 u 37 64 377 73.314 306.056 77.870
My server, 66.218.191.215, even with the prefer tag was still overridden
by a st1 server that was obviously not very accurate IMO. Seems like it
would want to go with the server that has a .314 delay (it's located in
the same rack) and has the prefer tag set on it. Also thought it was
interesting it only picked 3 other servers. Here's the area of the
/etc/ntp.conf:
server rikku.vrillusions.com iburst prefer
server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
I just added my server to the top of the current default config.
Perhaps one of those aliases aren't live? If I think about it I'll post
the top section to the newsgroup as that's a more generic ntp
observation that I thought people here may find interesting.
