Thanks Rob!

Hello Simon,

thanks for quick answer,
could you explain more?

mi idea is get ntp.conf and only add "server server1" and keep other lines
i think you are talking about line


# Undisciplined Local Clock. This is a fake driver intended for backup
# and when no outside source of synchronized time is available.
fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10


right?
