Thanks for all of the responses Just a followup on the situation (I always feel that not enough people say exactly what happened in the end on usenet posts like these)
I think it was just down to having too few servers, and NTP not being confident about which ones to synchronise with. I didn't actually change the setup as it was at the end of the day. I came back about 18 hours later, and everything was running fine. as for the burst option... I only used burst with the ISPs ntp server, because we're paying them. I didn't want to do a DLink! :-) When I have another look at the ntp configuration, I'll pick out 4 or so good servers which are nearby on the network, and to avoid the pool. Thanks all! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
