The topic has been visited several times in the last year or two. The only solution I know of is to let ntpd run continuously. If, for any reason, you need to shut down and reboot regularly, ntpd is probably a poor choice. There is software available called "chrony" which provides "gratification now". I am uncertain as to whether it provides the same accuracy as ntpd. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
