Hello All,
 
I am really really confused about the file /etc/ntp/step-tickers.
 
IN linux /etc/init.d/ntpd script reads it and depending on that it calls
ntpdate on
the servers in the file.
 
I have done a plethora of experiments deleting and adding new servers in
the 
/etc/ntp.conf file with the hope that ntpd will modify the step-tickers
but it did 
not. Any idea how and who modifies the file ?
