OK,
Here is a very stupid question I have to admit, but I still need to find
a way to do this.
The problem: Stupid Cisco IP phones for 7905 and 7912 DO NOT process the
EDT/EST time change properly like the higher model 7940 & 7960. Even
request with plenty of SmartNet to Cisco still without answer other then
their last release 7.4 remove the time display of the phone totally!
Good way to fix it right!
Temporary solution: Program all the 7905 & 7912 to get their ntp from a
server that have the clock off by one hour and manually change this at
each EDT/EST time change instead of programing all phones.
How to: I wish to use the same server running ntpd from Henning as the
server, but I haven't find a way to have two daemon running on different
IP's that would be off by one hour each.
So, is it possible first to do that?
I know Henning makes the daemon simple and user proof so that it just
work! And yes it does a great job! So, can I somehow trick it into doing
this to address the stupidity of Cisco instead of installing yet an
other server just for that? Sure, I will do so if I can't have my NTP
server provide both. I run one service by servers, so by principal I
would do so on my ntp server.
I realize this is stupid, but if we pass that, and over look why ( Cisco
incapability to do it right), how can I do so, ( to temporary bypass the
problem ) if possible?
Regards,
Daniel
