hello all. i've been looking at freebsd-isp from teh other side of a ms dos based uucp link fro many years, but recently our telco released a package i could afford to purchase and here i am 24x7 ppp connected to teh internet at large. anyway, my question is to do with keeping a couple of machines internal "time of day" clocks in sync. i've looked up ntp .. awe inspiring reading that man page. a few people suggested xntpd. i've setup. teh 'really complicated' .. grin, config file, but don't know what sort of time server to use and or if a stratum 1 would send around teh goons to 'warn' a small network connecting and taking teh place of another more suitable connectee, etc. etc. also, once teh principle time server for teh local ethernet is established, it should be a simple matter of using timed to keep teh rest synchronised and in teh proper relationship to the primary server. any sugesstions, thoughts would be of interest regards and thanks in advance jonathan -- =============================================================================== Jonathan Michaels PO Box 144, Rosebery, NSW 1445 Australia ===========================================================<jon@caamora.com.au> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
