This is the special case I mentioned previously. Refclocks (including the often misused Undisciplined Local Clock) can be fudged to arbitrary strata. Most refclocks default to stratum 0. The Undisciplined Local Clock, or LocalCLK, defaults to stratum 5; the fudge line you used is redundant unless you are changing the stratum to something else. > I also have a second one with higher stratum.

What this means is that your ntpd is following the drift of your hardware clock. > My local clock is sync'ed with a windows2003 server like this: > > Net time -S x.x.x.x set , and put in crontab.

This is probably the worst possible configuration you could have chosen. If you must use your Windows 2003 Server as your local time source you really should run ntpd on it.

Your ntpd was operating at stratum 16 because, in all likelyhood, it was never synchronized to a source of time (i.e. locally attached refclock, remote time server). > And this works for a 100%! > I can see in my cisco device with "show ntp associations" > > address ref clock st when poll reach delay offset disp > *~x.x.x.x 127.127.1.0 6 373 1024 377 3.1 0.28 0.3 > ~x.x.x.x 127.127.1.0 8 1012 1024 377 2.4 -760.9 103.9 Only if you consider a 761 milliseconds, or 3/4 of a second, difference between your time sources to be acceptable. And if you're not too concerned with stability. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
