Many years ago, we squeezed room for another digit in ntpq'a printout. That was the 4th fractional digit of delay, offset, and jitter where the units are ms so people were interested in fractions of a microsecond. The default setup ramps the polling interval up to 1024 seconds. Things are much better if you add a maxpoll. There are 2 types of WAN. Server to server where both servers are located in data centers with good network connectivity is a lot different from a home to server where home is running on a typical retail ISP. (Some retail ISPs, or some corners of some of them can be pretty bad.) It makes a big difference if you are watching a movie or zooming it to work. Clock drift from self heating when the CPU does some work makes a big difference. It's easy to spot if you make graphs. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
