Hi, Jan I specified the ntp server "3.cn.pool.ntp.org" in the /etc/ntp.conf file. In this case, I run ntpq :config ... , does it still talk to ntpd on localhost ? and time sources is still "3.cn.pool.ntp.org" ? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
