I remember a discussion with the Linux admin that went like this :-) R: You're running ntpd - you shouldn't when the hypervisor is already synchronized A: But I need the exact time, and that requires ntpd R: No, it does not. It's wasting resources and does not do you any good. A: I need it anyway, for exact time. R: Your time on z/Linux will be less exact with ntpd than without A: I does not have to be that exact, so I will run ntpd anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
