I am using the xntpd daemon with the AIX OS. From what I have read, the use of the "-x" option should cause steps steps less than 3 seconds to be slew'ed instead of step'ed. However, I am seeing steps that are less than 3 seconds and show no pattern(anywhere from 0.1 seconds to 1.7 seconds). The only thing I can figure is that since ntp is selecting a different server to sync to, it does not follow the slew only logic that should be applied by the use of the "-x" option? i.e. if I only had one server defined in my config file and it stepped, I would not have a problem, but if I have two servers that are out of sync, then I could see a steps on my processor as it ping pongs back and forth between the two.
