Hi:
Disclaimer: I know very little about ntpd. With that said.
These are all 24x7 machines all over the world. I *think* it's the
Solaris boxes that are causing us problems, but
can not confirm that a the moment. The Master Server is a Linux Redhat
5 machine. It's configuration is:
# Specify the key identifier to use with the ntpq utility.
#controlkey 8
restrict 172.20.21.23 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
restrict 172.20.21.32 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
server time.nist.gov
restrict time.nist.gov mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery
server tick.usno.navy.mil
restrict tick.usno.navy.mil mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap
noquery
server navobs1.gatech.edu
restrict navobs1.gatech.edu mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap
noquery
I did add Jan's idea about and can do a "ntpq -p" and get:
# /usr/sbin/ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay
offset jitter

Got a couple of quests here. He had "box1thru50.domain.tld" What does
the ".tld" mean?
I dropped that in the configuration file... Is the ".INIT." in the
refid field a problem? These are
all Solaris boxes...
Thanks
Tom
