I believe you mean "local clock" rather than "local server". The local clock is NOT a server by default You can configure the local clock as a "server of last resort" when no other server is reachable. This will keep your clocks in synchronization and more or less correct for a few hours but *very few*! Synchronization will last but correctness will not. If you really need the correct time you DO NOT want to rely on the local for any longer than absolutely necessary. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
