One of the parts of the algorithm that many SNTP implementations don't implement is the the clock frequency correction that was wanted here, although an SNTP could implement it and Open "ntpd" might. > here.

If they don't that would be another good reason to not use it.

It's available pre-compiled for many platforms, including most Linux distributions. One of the reasons open ntpd was supposedly created is that the ntpd reference implementation licence doesn't fully meet the level of free-ness required for Open BSD. Although its fairly clear from what Dave Mills has said that that is not the intention, he's not prepared to change it to clarify the point. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
