I'm running the ntpd code from louie.udel.edu on two Ultrix boxes and a SysV port of the same code on a box running SysV rel 3.1.5 and I'm seeing the same thing happen on all three... Whenever they choose a server to which to synchronize, they then seem to lose all of the data about that server causing an "NTP peer lost" message and a constant swapping of the available, sane, servers. This just doesn't seem quite right to me since it causes ntpd to query it's favorite two or three servers every 64 seconds most of the time, rather than sliding to a 1024 second interval (which seems to me like the thing to do). I admit that I haven't studied the NTP spec in detail... Am I missing something? Being stupid? Is there any reason why I shouldn't modify the code to prevent this behavior?
