Juergen, No, you can't always measure the frequency accurately. It depends on the initial offset when you start and what happens after the initial frequency measurement. As most folks don't want to set the clock directly unless forced, the daemon allows an initial offset of up to the step thre

lulu, Nothing at all will happen in your NTP network until the server, that is System A, is synchronized (as indicated by a "*" in the first column of the ntpq billboard). Systems B and C will not take their time from System A until System A indicates that it's sysnchronized. In order for System

Dear Sir/Madam I am a newbie to the ntp protocol. I read about this and try accumulate some aspect about it Please let me whether I am right or wrong. NTP is a protocol which helps in synchronising our system clock with respect to a reference clock. So what I tried taken three system in a LAN wh
