If you are not running any time-sensitive services / applications this should not be a problem. >How to reduce initial delay?

The default poll interval is 64 seconds, so 5 polls is 320 seconds (or a little over 5 minutes), >What is iburst? iburst tells ntpd to send the initial 8 polls at 2 second intervals instead of the default interval (usually 64 seconds). This allows ntpd to choose a time source in ~20 seconds. -- 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
