--- Comment #6 from Martin Birgmeier <d8zne...@aon.at> --- Hi Eugene, Thank you for looking into this. I have always been using ntp on all (physical, not VMs) machines. But I am not using a drift file because in my experience, the machines do not run long enough to arrive at stable values in the drift file, leading to bad ntp startup behavior (drifting) on the next boot (I have my own config files; maybe I should restart using drift files because my experience is from very long ago ~ 15 years :-)). Here is the output of ntpq -p: [0]# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *gandalf.xyzzy 192.53.103.103 2 u 11 64 377 0.187 -18.657 0.447 +hal.xyzzy 193.204.114.233 2 u 23 64 377 0.180 -2.254 0.096 [0]# I am syncing two machines to stratum-1 servers; they in turn are references for all the other machines (including the laptop with the em0).
