Does >> the ntp spec say so? > Yes. > Quote 'Time when the system clock was last set or corrected, > in NTP timestamp format' unquote. So this can be years in the past? If so: why is ntpdate then refusing this server? Is it because of the huge root dispersion? >>>> Root Dispersion: 3,9689 sec ... >> So optimally that should be 0? >> Is there a limit defined in the ntp spec? > MAXDIST. 1 second in the reference implementation, which > is a bit generous. like bigger than the 1 second in the ref.impl.?
