A gps (eg for $60 and a bit of soldering you can set up a Garmin 18LVC gps to give usec accuracy time to the server). >I've never setup a time server so please be gentle >with my ignorance on this issue. :) >In the past I was just cron'ing the ntpdate command >to query a Windows 2003 server.

It is set up to allow you to use wristwatch setting to set the server. Then you can use eitehr ntp or chrony on the other machines to get the time from that server. chrony cannot use refclocks ( hardware clocks). >This Win Server option is no longer an option thus my >need for the Unix/Linux replacement. >Thanks for your help and ideas. >George _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
