Yes, I know it's a complex protocol. However, I didn't put the local |
8 |
clock (fudge?) on the configuration, hoping it would only take the |
9 |
time server into account. |

I am leaving them and seeing. |

Funny thing, my machine, which was in sync yesterday, is not in sync |
15 |
anymore today. The offset starts increasing and increasing until it's |
16 |
several minutes in difference. |

I've read something about ntp requiring CONFIG_SECURITY=y and |
18 |
CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y on kernel 2.6. They are both activated |
19 |
on my machine. |

Yes, I could put all those time servers on all config files, but is |
28 |
this the best approach for a network? I thought I could let one of |
29 |
them synchronize to several servers, and let all others synchronize |
30 |
from this one. The jitter is minimum, as they are on the same network. |

This is what I'm trying to avoid. ntpd is a cleaner solution, as it |
36 |
records the clock drift instead of just updating the clock every X |
37 |
hours. In fact, most 'cron solutions' I see are ugly workarounds. |

Thanks for the reply. |
