I can't agree with that statement. The PREFER keyword can improve sync and reduce clock-hopping, but it causes unfortunate side effects when the PREFERed clock has problems. It reduces reliability and redundancy in the entire NTP hierarchy that uses that server and can lead to all your machines becomming unsynchronized from the One True Time. PREFER should be avoided if you are interested in high availability rather than sub-millisecond accuracy. - Eric _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
