Yes, that's actually a good idea. If you already have two PCs consulting the outside world for time, make them servers on your LAN, and let your clients use them. That lets your clients get time from either server, if one of them isn't available for some reason. A NTP client really should consult several NTP servers (some say at least four), and those servers should consult more than one server, too (unless they are *the* master server with an atomic clock, etc). Some math is done to work out the differences/delays between multiple servers, to work out which servers are closer up the chain to a master server, and your own clock's inaccuracies, and your client does its trick as it sees best based on that information. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
