Well, in case you missed the NTP threads/bugs from about 2 months ago, the default configuration (assuming users have full access to outside NTP servers) should have 3 entries for 'pool.ntp.org' (IIRC, check in bugzilla), since they have round-robin DNS, so ntpd should get 3 different servers: [EMAIL PROTECTED] bgmilne]$ host pool.ntp.org pool.ntp.org has address 217.114.97.97 pool.ntp.org has address 217.157.1.202 pool.ntp.org has address 65.211.109.11 pool.ntp.org has address 129.240.64.3 pool.ntp.org has address 130.60.73.143 pool.ntp.org has address 130.94.201.36 pool.ntp.org has address 193.170.141.4 pool.ntp.org has address 204.17.42.199 pool.ntp.org has address 206.168.231.98 pool.ntp.org has address 209.162.205.202 pool.ntp.org has address 212.204.230.141 pool.ntp.org has address 212.242.64.180 pool.ntp.org has address 213.15.3.1 pool.ntp.org has address 213.134.172.184 pool.ntp.org has address 216.27.185.42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] bgmilne]$ host pool.ntp.org pool.ntp.org has address 216.27.185.42 pool.ntp.org has address 217.114.97.97 pool.ntp.org has address 217.157.1.202 pool.ntp.org has address 65.211.109.11 pool.ntp.org has address 129.240.64.3 pool.ntp.org has address 130.60.73.143 pool.ntp.org has address 130.94.201.36 pool.ntp.org has address 193.170.141.4 pool.ntp.org has address 204.17.42.199 pool.ntp.org has address 206.168.231.98 pool.ntp.org has address 209.162.205.202 pool.ntp.org has address 212.204.230.141 pool.ntp.org has address 212.242.64.180 pool.ntp.org has address 213.15.3.1 pool.ntp.org has address 213.134.172.184 Regards, Buchan - -- |--------------Another happy Mandrake Club member--------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x202 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/n+W8rJK6UGDSBKcRAu0KAJ0fec8tXHbh1Zy3bxf0PgZpyU+IZwCglP3T vB3/osOltwR2PLjBa041LXY= =cCrO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
