Not positive, but "maxpoll": http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/html/confopt.html might do what you want. > Also: Is it possible to use ntpdate to update my routers time once (say in > the morning) and get ntpsimpl to look at the system (cmos) clock instead of > polling the servers listed in ntpsimpl config files...

Commenting out the "server" directives in ntp.conf should prevent ntpd from polling other servers. I assume (but you know what they say about that) ntpd uses the local system time when there are no external servers to consult. A line like: 04 20 * * * root ntpdate some.ntp.server && hwclock --systohc in /etc/crontab will sync your system and hardware clocks with some.ntp.server every morning at 4:20am. --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
