The way I got into all this for the first time ever was a patch to gpsd.php to fix a map that showed where I was (I knew where I was, I just wanted the map that had bit-rot to show it). I think of ntpmon like the Linux 'top' utility. It shows, at a snapshot that might miss something interesting, what the system state is. It does not really help me with performance tuning, but it tells me that there _isn't_ a performance issue in the system, as a whole. Unfortunately, I am unable to play with this new toy, as all my servers that run NTPsec are in the pool, and ntpmon just goes to sleep on them (see issue #206). -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ghane
