Hi Dave. You statement is correct for the complete variety of platforms ntp supports. However, on a Linux system (with at least 1us time resolution) you can get reasonable estimates for the drift much faster. Have a look at my script in https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=742 Changing the stepout as you proposed should give the same results (on Linux). Unfortunately, I didn't understand the meaning of 'stepout' from the documentation. ;-( Bye Juergen _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
