Hello, I have two questions.
1. I have to use some ntpd servers which list themselves as time sources. They list themselves as stratum 16 and with a jitter or 16000, so I hope this means they are ignored - but does it? i.e. we point at two ntp servers 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 and when I run ntpq -p IP I see that both 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 are listed with a maximum stratum and a huge jitter. Is this a good idea, and will it cause a problem? Can you point me at some documentation? 2. To determine the health of the ntp service on a server we parse the output of ntpq -pn and look for large offsets. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me since ntp will ignore crazy servers. What's the best way of asking ntpd if it is receiving time from a good time source? Thanks a lot. -- James Patterson [email protected] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for.
