In > any case, false tickers still have a non-zero reachability. If I recall correctly his problem was that he had 4 outside sources plus the local time. Then something disconnected him from those outside sources for a long time ( hours) After that was fixed, the system never again went back to those outside sources-- gave zero reachability even after they were reconnected, as if ntpd gave up on them after it could not reach them for a while. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions This email and any attachments may contain confidential and proprietary information of Blackboard that is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
