Yes. I don't think there is any realistic difference from server. > >>>> I have the following setup > 1. Valid NTP server > 2. Device1 where I configure a NTP server with "ntp server" command. > 3.

Both machines will free run independently. You need to use orphan mode, and a recent (possibly development version) ntpd to gain anything useful in this configuration. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
