Not yet outside NTPs limit of 500ppm but modern hardware is usually much better. Maybe your server is frequency shifting . Check your BIOS settings . Are you using VMWARE or something like it. If it is not configured correctly virtual systems can get duff clock states. < snip rest > > > > Regards, > Sean Critica > _______________________________________________ > questions mailing list > questions@lists.ntp.org > http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.
