I ran some tests here and found that an xntpd running as a broadcast client took less umph than running ntpdate or rtime or whatever out of cron. We found that we had large cad program users that could tell us when ntpdate ran out of cron consistantly even with us varying the times whereas a xntpd presented a much lighter and consistant load that no one noticed. This is on medium sized workstations. Just a thought ... -- Ken
