Oops! Apologies, i don't need to leave it at all. A quick grep of /var/log/messages tells me it's adjusted itself twice since i restarted it already... Many thanks then, Martin.

Hi Martin, have you got a 'driftfile /etc/ntp/driftfile' or similar in your ntp.conf? I would recommend six servers to protect against 'false-tickers' (you can stick a 'server 82.152.150.47' in your config if you want - members of dcglug are the *only* people who have permission to ignore the access policy in 'ntpq -c rl 82.152.150.47', providing they keep to <100 queries an hour each) you might well already know this, try - server 0.uk.pool.org iburst server 1.uk.pool.org iburst server 2.uk.pool.org iburst and similar for *.eu.pool.org, multiple identical *.pool.org lines might end up with all the same server due to dns issues - check your ntpq -pn output *never* use the 'burst' option! can we see your 'ntpq -c rl' or 'ntpq -pn' output? best regards Dave -- http://www.morgad.no-ip.info/index.html gpg:0x64B5E037 Distributed Proofreaders: http://www.pgdp.net The NTP server pool http://www.pool.ntp.org -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
