Etc, etc? >The half witted will always be with us. . . . There is no way you can set up ntpd so that it will poll many times a second, unless there is a severe bug in ntp. He is asking if perhaps such a bug exists in the latest version of ntpd ( since the latest version just came out a month ago, and latest devel version a week ago, this would be a sensible worry). Alternatively one of those modem manufacturers may have screwed up again, or some ntp like program has come out that has such a default. I agree that asking the IP addressee what it is that they are running might work, but probably not. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
