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.

I think you have no valid server line in the config file because of the
trailing "s".

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
