Hi people, Sorry for the delay coming back on this one, i've been busy installing SUSE 9.3 on my desktop, but that's another story, and maybe one for a review? On the whole a pretty positive story mind you! Back to the matter at hand. The ntp.conf that i posted earlier was the entire file, not just a snippet, so i don't have anything about a driftfile in there, or indeed a seperate /etc/ntp directory at all. is this bad? I need to leave adding your servers into the config until i know how to ensure they're not being hit more than an acceptable amount :) Incidentally, there's no sign of an ntpq installed so i can't give any output from it! Anyway, time for some Zzzz's. I'll look into this and the security thing when i get a little more time - maybe tomorrow. According to the log the last time the box felt the need to do anything to the time was 17:33. This looks a little odd in itself looking at the frequency that it was putting entries in there earlier.

A quick grep of /var/log/messages tells me it's adjusted itself twice since i restarted it already... Many thanks then, Martin.

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
