It takes days (!) to really synchronize, adjusting time and clock frequency back and forth (even if you start with -s) so it's too early to say that using it is "right". It will be "right" after it matures, gets more useful synchronization algorithm and it's own ntpdate (or a parameter to synchronize and exit). -- Best regards, Boris mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
