> ntpd is the server. > Scott: OK. Here's what I get from man ntpd: "The ntpd program is an operating system daemon which sets and maintains the system time of day in synchronism with Internet standard time servers."
What I want to do is build a little local net only "standard time server" The man goes on to say: "The ntpd program operates by exchanging messages with one or more configured servers at designated poll intervals. When started, whether for the first or subsequent times, the program requires several exchanges from the majority of these servers so the signal processing and mitigation algorithms can accumulate and groom the data and set the clock" So, I essentially want to feed ntpd and its MSoft equivalents. I found the www.ntp.net site, that apparently has open software to do this. As I looked further, there seem to be a LOT of so-called primary NTP servers out there that are quite simply malware sites using NTP to infiltrate. Yikes. as usual, I go looking for some simple thing, and find I've whacked the tarbaby another lick... (see Uncle Remus Stories). Thanks for the input!!!
