NTP 4.2.4p4 RPMs For RHEL / CentOS 0 161 (1/22/2008 7:26:27 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp Since nobody said anything I went ahead and compiled some RPMs because I was tired of the old versions some of my RHEL / CentOS servers were running. http://ntp.extremeoc.com/rpm/ I don't have a el5.i386 RPM ... jason

"good enough" ntp configuration 0 111 (6/12/2007 4:25:06 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp >>Also when using NTP to set the prefer flag to your GPS source as that would >>probably be the most accurate time and prevent NTP from hopping around >>sources or choosing the wrong one. > >I can't agree with ... jason

Re: statsdir defaults to /var/NTP 3 22 (6/10/2007 2:02:26 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp I would have to agree with the person that submitted the bug, it should be lowercase ntp by default. Since we are on the subject of change, shouldn't it be /var/log/ntp since that's usually where all log files... jason

Re: "good enough" ntp configuration 1 97 (6/9/2007 7:34:51 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp Mark, What are these "Campus Systems" currently running for their OS and time synchronization, and how many machines are we talking about? If we are talking about single or double digit *nix machines, then of... jason

A Suggestion For Abolishing the Leap Second 3 131 (6/3/2007 12:54:34 AM) comp.protocols.time.ntp > I can understand that, and I do not advocate that any different > frequency be distributed. So you are wanting *another* time scale for frequency applications? After all, Hz is just cycles per second (in you... jason

Re: Time sync on a windows domain 0 145 (5/30/2007 1:05:06 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp Sounds like a plan. If you need better performance with w32time, you can adjust a registry setting to have it sync more often. A quick Google search will yield the location and setting. As someone else said, ... jason

NTP Pool & Network Load (Was: zeroconf for ntpd?) 0 141 (5/26/2007 8:53:28 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp I think that any home user that is running *nix machines with NTP would know better than to have them all sync to pool servers. I'm sure a good majority have their own little hierarchy. As for windows machines,... jason

Time sync on a windows domain #2 1 17 (5/24/2007 2:55:08 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp Windows uses SNTP to fetch time which is more or less a one-shot deal, same with ntpdate on *nix. SNTP is just a stripped down version of a NTP packet. (You will notice in the internet time tab it says "next sy... jason

question about logs of PPS #2 1 153 (5/18/2007 3:30:10 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp Good to know your signal is okay, saves the trip up to the roof. Oops... Yeah having your coordinates that far off could cause unexpected issues. I find when I calculate my position, the lat/long always ends ... jason

Synching to a Legacy System as an External Clock Reference 0 117 (5/18/2007 2:26:55 PM) comp.protocols.time.ntp >> Use a daemon that listens to the UDP clock pulses and, after suitable >> preprocessing, sends them to ntpd via the SHM driver. > >That is the approach I had in mind.
