No. This is still incorrect.

so 2 options seem to be valid:
1. if the drift is small enough between the frequent ntp restarts
then"service ntp restart" will suffice.
2. "service ntp stop && ntpdate ntp.massey.ac.nz && service ntp start"
will cover drifts beyond what ever the ntp maximum adjustment is.

I'll do some testing and see if I can salvage the scanner.

It still is, on SUSE anyway. You can't reliably start up ntpd without
running ntpdate (or the equivalent) first, so there's about as much
argument for leaving it in the ntpd script as there is for separating
it.

This is pretty much off topic except that it has to do with connecting a

Is the scanner double insulated? You are probably seeing leakage
