Thanks for the info - I've chmod'd ntpdate to 000 so when I'm tempted to use it,
I can't.  =)

Now for another problem.  My WinXP client won't update its time from my ntpd
server, claiming:  "An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with
gibson.  The time sample was rejected because: The peer's stratum is less than
the host's stratum."

My ntpq output is:

[root at gibson /etc]# ntpq -p -n

Gibson = 192.168.100.1 = ntpd server.  Why is gibson set to stratum 16?  Can
that be changed?

Thanks again,
