I have a stable drift value on my fedora 12 node and everything is running well. (offsets are well below 1msec). If I now stop 'ntpd' will my time start to drift relative to the 'correct time' by the PPM value in the drift file? Or is it that ntpd has already set things up so that corrections as per last value of drift file will continue indefinitely? If it is the latter and if indeed my drift value is quite good (as ntpd had run for many days already), it seems I can go for many more days w/o ntpd and not get very much out of sync at all.
Any comments welcome. Thanks. Gautam _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
