I have seen a fair amount of all three. My favorite setup these days is to find a machine that has a decent clock, and will keep time through a reboot, and config ntpd there to use outside servers. Then I sync my other boxes to that one. That seems to give the most stable time for all my machines. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
