A few good URLs would help people like me get started. I think "curated" is the right term. I assume I also have to setup a system to collect the data and show status or email alerts or whatever. What do you call that? I think there are several packages available. Do they all support NTP? Do they monitor NTP servers directly with NTP packets? At any rate, I/we need the HOWTO level info for setting up the NTP side and I need a HOWTO for getting the collection end off the ground. (In case it's not obvious, I don't mean you have to write them. Links to existing info is fine.) -------- In case it's not on your list... ntpd can monitor other ntp servers. Just put "noselect" on a server line pointed at the system you want to monitor. Then ntpq -p will give you a line of info and logging to peerstats and rawstats will get the normal data. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
