There should be no reason to restart ntp. > The configuration is sometimes changing (desktop with router or direct, > laptop travelling) and ntp always keeps the time right on both machines. > > The only problem I encounter, is a wlan access point, that blocks udp.

If your "immediate" network does not change but a change happens on the router, that should not affect ntpd on your machines - they will send traffic and expect the router to do its job. -- Harlan Stenn <st...@ntp.org> http://ntpforum.isc.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
