I only use ntp on servers and clients. Previous positions I have had, I made 2 seperate machine that were ntp servers for my local network. I had 8000+ machines/nodes/workstations there. The two machines I had referenced 4 seperate external ntp servers and each other. So for each machine had 5 references. This then meant 8 external times references, with 1 local peering setup. I then had all of the "servers" being Netware, Linux and Windows reference both local machines. Then each of the workstation set time during machine login to the domains. So, just to simplify my story, I used NTP in a local peering setup, referencing each other, but also referencing 8 external resources. This made it so that the local ntp servers were VERY accurate. I then set up thes ntp servers to "serve" only my local machine networks/subnets. Allowing only a poll, not a change. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
