When talking about all the hosts running ntp, what consideration is made for those that don't need millisecond accuracy and just run ntpdate every couple of hours? All of our systems run ntpdate very hour (if their clocks drift some) or every three hours if they don't drift much. It keeps them all withing a second quite nicely. That seems close enough for what we do, and of course we use ntpdate at boot time to set the clock. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S.
