doing that you you leave 3 non-workable old ntp servers and you need another round of 2000 servers cleaning up... as i said... restarting your ntpd process wont cause downtime and wont affect even your host's clock... just proceed to restart and you will be fine... man ntpd as it explains there how ntpd process update your host clock and its polling interval... fooler. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
