Hi, I am fairly new to the ntp arena, but have to learn fast as part of my work is trying to fix ntp problems. Lately I had a customer that complained that there servers went bananas due to time being wrong. (The customer claims that ntp had changed the time 20 years ahead). Looking at some wire shark logs it seems that sys.peer for some reason had turned into a stratum 16 server (i.e. unsynched) and had "leap" set to 3 -"Alarm condition (clock not synchronized"
the setup: klient syncs to 2 servers, one stratum 1 (sys.peer) and one stratum 2 server. If sys.peer all of a sudden says it's a stratum 16 server, how does ntp react to this? instant outvote of the sys.peer? or are these packets filtered for some time as being errornous? or anything else? I have told the customer to use more than two servers, but they insist that they want answers to the above scenario. Any help welcome //Fredrik _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
