Hi, i'm new here and have a question I couldn't answer by myself by searching the internet and reading the documentation for hours. I have a DCF77 Clock connected to the UART. The line in the ntp.conf looks like this: server 127.127.8.0 mode 5 prefer Receiving the time works, but when I disconnect the DCF77-Receiver from the UART, ntpq -p says that ntpd still synchronizes with it for minutes (about 4), until it changes to another clock. I want that the ntpd changes the synchronization source as soon as no signal is received for a few seconds. How can I achieve this? The only thing that does something similar, that I can imagine, are the minpoll maxpoll parameters. But even then (setting them to 4) it will take up to 16 seconds until the reference source is changed, correct?
