OK,
So maybe I know someone who is one of these ntp server
abusers. I don't know.
I have the following line as a crontab in several
machines:
*/12 * * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s timeserver1
timeserver2 timeserver3 timeserver4
the timeservers in question are geographically among
the closest I could find, but I didn't measure
distances with traceroute.
I (probably mistakenly) assumed that running ntpdate
periodically would put less load on my servers than
using ntpd, and I also assumed that it wouldn't put
undue load on the ntp servers either. Is these
assumptions wrong?
(I know about the weaknesses of not 'drifting' the
time towards accuracy)
Thanks
