Hi. I understand and I apologise but I'm with a small netbook at the moment and I can't do better. I'm trying to clean the posts before posting them back. I'll see if I can fine an alternative. Thanks for your understanding in the meantime. > > -258 IS pretty high. On what kind of machine? What operating system? Same machine that was before!

But I only restarted the ntp service, I did not reboot the server. As it's been said, I'm concerned that if the calibration can drift by 200ppm I may end up over the 500ppm boundary. But I understand that the drift file will change between reboots, but it will then stabilise. Now the power saving is disabled I don't see the drift changing over time, which should be good?
