If not you will have some clear failure logged. | I can't understand the /var/log/ntpstats files (loopstats and peerstats) They are mainly used to keep a very accurate synchronization. For a simple and personnal usage, you do not have to log all these files. | Are there any explanatory notes (preferably in simple terms) for the | contents of the ntpstat log files? Can anyone offer any ideas as to | where I should go from here? I supposed you search xntp web site ? -- o-o [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michel Verdier) http://www.chez.com/mverdier
