NTP is a time pulling protocol. Peers make use of the time on the other peer as one term in the estimation of their time error, but the other peer doesn't demand that they use that time, and when it is used, it can be diluted by other information about the time. I think you may understand this, but the idea that a server sets the time on a client is one of the more common NTP misconceptions. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
