Oops. Actually it went from -12 (not -22) to +8, a 20 second shift. Then from -10 to +8, an 18 sec shift. So MySB seems perhaps consistently 8 seconds ahead of my machine, and the corrections are not too far from the 15 second changes I'd expect. Still it seems odd tha MySB and Ubuntu's NTP servers should be so far apart. Running ntpdate queries against ntp.ubuntu.com, time.windows.com, and pool.ntp.org, it looks like my SBS host is within about 0.01 sec of everyone's idea of the current time. Is MySB really 8 seconds off?** Or is there some architectural problem here, like the time TinySC gets from MySB is skewed by the time required to do the processing (async HTTP, etc.)? I know 8 seconds is no big deal, certainly with what AndyLR reported, but it seems odd & not good. Maybe not bad enough to fix, but not good. -Peter **I thought I saw someone claim that MySB could be used as an NTP source, but I'm having no luck running NTP queries against it; do I need a different hostname, or is MySB currently not accessible as an NTP server? -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79894 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
