Re: [ntp:questions] Autokey sequence error

Versions: System is debian Lenny, ntp is version '1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-8lenny3' I've followed the rabbit hole as far as I can. Can someone point me in the right direction from here? Martin, I don't know whether it will help, but the current stable version of NTP is now 4.2.6p3, form: http://www

Re: [ntp:questions] Flash 400 on all peers; can't get ntpd to be happy

There are certainly plenty of arguments for how VMs can help companies reduce costs. However, personally in cases like mine, I'm using a VM because I want to be able to work with more than one operating system without having to own 4 different PCs. And frankly, even for me it provides a great
